A Genie? Are they qualified? When I was born, the doctor performed a circumcision on me. Despite his years and years of medical training, and practical experience, it was _still_ almost a year before I was able to walk. ---

Boy, some people make some weird-assed wishes. What were her other two? They obviously weren’t “oh, crap, put it back!” and “make sure nobody ever finds out about this.” ---

What astounds me is that the article states that boys there are normally circumsized - but not until they’re 6 or 7 years old. I can’t help thinking that if someone had suggested to me at age 7 that chopping off the tip of my wiener was a good idea, I don’t think I would have agreed.
