Went to the doctor for my yearly physical. The nurse starts with certain basics.
'How much do you weigh?' she asks. '165,' I say. The nurse puts me on the scale. It turns out my weight is 205.
The nurse asks, 'Your height?' '5' 11,' I say. The nurse checks and sees that I only measure 5' 9'.
She then takes my blood pressure and tells me it is very high.
'Of course it's high!' I scream. 'When I came in here I was tall and slender! Now I'm short and fat!'
She put me on Prozac.
This could only happen with a little Italian kid..
'Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl'.
The priest asks, 'Is that you, little Joey Pagano ?'
'Yes, Father, it is.'
'And who was the girl you were with?'
'I can't tell you, Father, I don't want to ruin her reputation'
Well, Joey, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later so you may as
well tell me now.
Was it Tina Minetti?'
'I cannot say.'
'Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?'
'I'll never tell.'
'Was it Nina Capelli?'
'I'm sorry, but I cannot name her.'
'Was it Cathy Piriano?'
'My lips are sealed.'
'Was it Rosa Di Angelo, then?'
'Please, Father, I cannot tell you.'
The priest sighs in frustration. 'You're very tight lipped, Joey Pagano, and I admire that. But you've sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months. Now you go and behave yourself.'
Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Franco slides over and whispers,
'What'd you get?'
'4 months vacation and five good leads.'
Count your blessings!
You don't have to be Catholic to get a kick out of this joke, but it might help!
Each Friday night after work, Bubba would
fire up his outdoor grill and cook a venison
steak.. But, all of Bubba's neighbors were
Catholic. And since it was Lent, they were
forbidden from eating meat on Friday. The
delicious aroma from the grilled venison
steaks was causing such a problem for the
Catholic faithful that they finally talked
to their priest.
The Priest came to visit Bubba, and
suggested that he become a Catholic. After
several classes and much study, Bubba
attended Mass.. and as the priest sprinkled
holy water over him, he said, 'You were
born a Baptist, and raised a Baptist, but
now you are a Catholic..
Bubba's neighbors were greatly relieved,
until Friday night arrived, and the
wonderful aroma of grilled venison filled
the neighborhood. The Priest was called
immediately by the neighbors, and, as he
rushed into Bubba's yard, clutching a
rosary and prepared to scold him, he
stopped and watched in amazement.
There stood Bubba, clutching a small
bottle of holy water which he carefully
sprinkled over the grilling meat and
chanted: You wuz born a deer, you wuz
raised a deer, but now you is a catfish.

OLE'S ACCIDENT
Ole, had a car accident.
In court, the trucking company's lawyer was
Questioning Ole. "Didn't you say, sir, at the scene of the accident, "I'm fine," asked the lawyer."
Ole responded, "Vell, I'll tell you vat happened. I had just loaded my favorite mule, Bessie, into the..."
"I didn't ask for any details, the lawyer
Interrupted. Just answer the question. Did you not say,
At the scene of the accident, "I'm fine!"?
Ole said, "Vell, I had just got Bessie into the
Trailer and I was driving down the road..."
The lawyer interrupted again and said,
"Judge, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Minnesota Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now several weeks after the accident he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud.
Please tell him to simply answer the question."
By this time, the Judge was fairly interested in Ole's
Answer and said to the lawyer, "I'd like to hear what he has to say about his favorite mule, Bessie."
Ole thanked the Judge and proceeded. "Vell as I vas
Saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite mule, into
da trailer and vas driving her down da highvay ven dis
Huge semi-truck and trailer ran da stop sign and smacked my truck right in da side. I vas trown into one ditch and Bessie vas trown into da other. I vas hurting real bad and didn't vant to move.
However, I could hear Bessie moaning and groaning. I
Knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans. Shortly after da accident da Minnesota Highway Patrolman came to da scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he vent over to her. After he looked at her, and saw her fatal condition, he took out his gun and shot her right 'tween da eyes.
Then the Patrolman came across da road, gun still in hand, looked at me and said, "How are you feeling?''
"Now vat the hell vould YOU say?"

The Department Of Defense briefed the president this morning. They told Obama that 2 Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq. To everyone's surprise, all the color drained from Obama's face.
Then he collapsed onto his desk, head in his hands, visibly shaken, almost in tears.
Finally, he composed himself and asked, 'Just how many is a brazilian?'

I guess the more things change, the more they stay the same. The person who sent this to me would NEVER bad mouth GW though, so I guess that's why I didn't get that version.![]()
