Huck Finn, the truly perceptive gentleman from the upper midwest, sent this
one about a golfer who happens to be Italian...

Silvio, an 80-year-old Italian goes to the doctor for a check-up.

The doctor is amazed at what good shape the guy is in and asks, "How do you
stay in such great physical condition?"

"I'm Italian and I am a golfer," says Silvio, "and that's why I'm in such good
shape. I'm up well before daylight and out golfing up and down the fairways.
I have a glass of vino, and all is well."

"Well," says the doctor, 'I'm sure that helps, but there's got to be more to it.
How old was your Father when he died?"

"Who said my Father's dead?"

The doctor is amazed. "You mean you're 80 years old and your Father's still
alive. How old is he?"

"He's 100 years old," says Silvio."In fact he golfed with me this morning, and
then we went to the topless beach for a walk and had a little vino and that's
why he's still alive. He's Italian and he's a golfer, too.

"Well," the doctor says, "that's great, but I'm sure there's more to it than that.
How about your Father's father? How old was he when he died?"

"Who said my Nonno's dead?"

Stunned, the doctor asks, "You mean you're 80 years old and your grandfather's
still living? Incredible! How old is he?"

"He's 118 years old," says Silvio.

The doctor is getting frustrated at this point, "So, I guess he went golfing with
you this morning too?"

"No, Nonno couldn't go this morning because he's getting married today."

At this point the doctor is close to losing it. "Getting married? Why would a 118
year- old guy want to get married?"

"Who said he wanted to get married?"
