Maria was just married and being a traditional Italian, she was still a 
virgin.  On her wedding night, staying at her mother's house,  she was 
nervous.  But her mother reassured her.  "Don't worry, Maria.  Tony's a 
good man.  Go upstairs and he'll take care of you."

So up she went.  When she got upstairs, Tony took off his shirt and
exposed his hairy chest.  Maria ran downstairs to her mother and said,
"Mama, Mama, Tony's got a big hairy chest."

"Don't worry, Maria," replied her mother," all good men have hairy 
chests. Go upstairs.  He'll take good care of you."

So, up she went again.  When she got up in the bedroom, Tony took off 
his pants exposing his hairy legs.  Again, Maria ran downstairs to her 
mother, "Mama, Mama, Tony took off his pants and he's got hairy legs!"

"Don't worry.   All good men have hairy legs.  Tony's a good man.  Go
upstairs and he'll take good care of you."

So up she went again.  When she got up there, Tony took off his socks 
and on his left foot he was missing three toes.  When Maria saw that, 
she ran downstairs. "Mama, Mama, Tony's got a foot and a half!"

"Stay here and stir the pasta," said her mother, "This is a job for 
Mama!"

A fellow bought a new Mercedes and was out on an interstate for a
nice evening drive. The top was down, the breeze was blowing through his 
hair and he decided to open her up. As the needle jumped up to 80mph he 
suddenly saw a flashing red and blue light behind him. "There ain't no
way  they can catch a Mercedes," he thought to himself and opened her up 
further. The needle hit 90, 100 110 and finally 120 with the lights still
behind him. "What in hell am I doing?" he thought and pulled over.
The cop came up to him, took his license without a word and examined it
and the car. "I've had a tough shift and this is my last pull over.  I don't 
feel like more paperwork so if you can give me an excuse for your driving
that  I haven't heard before you can go!"

"Last week my wife ran off with a cop," the man said, "and I was
afraid  you were trying to give her back!"

"Have a nice night", said the officer.

The Confessional box
--------------------
A drunken man staggers in to a Catholic church and wanders over to the
confessional box. He opens the door, sits down and says nothing. The
bewildered priest waits for a few minutes, allowing the drunken man
some time to collect his thoughts. Growing impatient, the priest
coughs to attract his attention, but still the man says nothing. The
priest then knocks on the wall three times in a final attempt to get
the man to speak. Finally, the drunk replies: "No use knockin' mate,
there's no paper in this one either."

Visits to the Zoo
----------------- 
A woman goes to a zoo, and while there was watching the monkeys.  A
zoo attendant throws a box of fruit into the cage and all the monkeys
scurried to get their share. One particular monkey grabbed a banana
and climbed up on a limb and carefully peeled it.  The monkey then
stuck the banana up his rectum and pulled it out and ate it.  
 
The poor woman who witnessed this was absolutely disgusted! She
immediately went to the zoo manager to complain about the dirty
monkey.  
 
After explaining what the monkey did, the zoo manager said, "We have a
perfectly good explanation for that ma'am."
 
"Well, I would like to hear it then! I cannot imagine any excuse for
that kind of behavior!", exclaimed the woman.
 
"Last week the attendant threw a box of fruit into the cage and the
same monkey grabbed a peach. ...The monkey ate it so fast he swallowed
the pit."
 
"I don't understand", demanded the angry woman.
 
"Well, you see the monkey had so much trouble passing the pit, now he
sizes everything before he eats it!"

and the doctor was called assist in the delivery.

Since there was no electricity, the doctor handed
the father-to be a lantern and said, "Here, you hold

Soon, a baby boy was brought into the world.
"Whoa there," said the doctor. "Don't be in a rush
to put the lantern down...I think there's yet another
one to come."

Sure enough, within minutes he had delivered a baby girl.

"No, no, don't be in a great hurry to be putting down
that lantern...It seems there's yet another one in there!"
cried the doctor.

doctor, "Do you think it's the light that's attractin' 'em?"
