Bible reader tries to circumcise son
• Absurd Inurbane Witless
Edward Baxter had been reading his Bible. A conscientious student he came across the Bible's injunction that men should be circumcised. I guess he is a do it yourself kind of guy since he decided he'd save the cost of a doctor - another sign of this thrift is that he used a common kitchen knife - and cut off his son's foreskin himself.
Father Charged With Assault For Trying To Circumcise SonBaxter told police that he numbed the boy's penis with ice before attempting the circumcision at home. The eight-year-old has only minor injuries.
