FES, Morocco (AP) The infant son of King Mohammed VI was circumcised Thursday, and thousands of Moroccans also went through the procedure in a massive show of solidarity for the prince, a news agency reported.
The circumcision of Moulay Hassan, the king’s only son, marked the start of three days of nationwide celebrations across the north African kingdom to honor the event. The boy turns 2 next month.
Some 5,000 boys were circumcised in Casablanca, Morocco’s largest city, and thousands more in other cities and towns, the official news agency MAP reported.
The ritual of circumcision, known as “t’hara” or purification in Morocco, signals the entry of young boys into the Muslim community. The practice—once mainly carried out by barbers— today takes place primarily under a doctor’s supervision.
Surgery, too. In the middle ages, doctors didn't like getting their hands dirty :D
I was thinking of Theodoric, Barber of York from the old SNL's. Those were some sick skits.
The Julia Childs skit where they had her cutting off all her fingers.
"JOB ANNOUNCEMENT"
Immediate opening in the Circumcision Ward.
Many benefits. All the meat you want and some day you may get ahead.
How about "Samurai Barber"!
"But wait....perhaps we've been wrong to blindly follow the medical traditions and superstitions of the past century. Perhaps we should test those assumptions analytically through experimentation and the scientific method. Perhaps this scientific method could be extended to other fields such as natural science. Perhaps I could lead the way to an age of rebirth.................Naaaaaaaa!"--Theodoric of York: Medieval BarberOK, Cyborg...just one for now...
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
"Put some ice on that" comes to mind.
Ouch! I had this procedure performed on me when I was a baby and I couldn't walk for an entire year.
Not Barbers, Berbers. This is North Africa, you know.
This might be the answer for lawyers...........
Why do lawyers wear neckties?
Keeps the foreskins from popping over their heads.
They wait until they're almost two years old! Holy cr*p! Talk about tramatic.
Why does some joke about a wallet and a briefcase come to mind?
LOL!
And Berbers.
Berber barbers butcher babies.
Do it with pinking shears and put those French Tickler manufactures out of business.
Does anybody else remember the SNL parody automobile commercial where the rabbi performed a bris in the backseat of a car? It was a parody of the Ford diamond-cutting commercial to illustrate the smooth ride. The front tire hits a pothole just as the rabbi is making the delicate cut. It was pretty amusing.
In a related incident, some couldn't find scissors and attempted the ordinance with pinking shears.
I still laugh just thinking about it.
