From Ernie! This is pretty funny, but does that whole cliqued thing about how Italians speak English. You could replace Italian with just any other natonality or creed and it’d still be funny (you’d just need to change the wording a wee bit). This is one of those jokes that might be funnier if it didn’t try and make fun of Italians, as the situation could be generalized into any naive sheltered woman getting married.<\/p>\n
Maria had just gotten married, and being a traditional Italian she was still a virgin. On her wedding night, staying at her mother’s house, she was very nervous.<\/p>\n
Her mother reassured her;<\/p>\n
‘Don’t worry, Maria, Tony’s a good man. Go upstairs and he’ll take care of you..<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, I’ll be making pasta.’<\/p>\n
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 says, ‘Mama, Mama, Tony’s got a big hairy chest.’<\/p>\n
‘Don’t worry, Maria,’ says the mother, ‘all good men have hairy chests.
\nGo upstairs. He’ll take good care of you.’<\/p>\n
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!’<\/p>\n
‘Don’t worry! All good men have hairy legs. Tony’s a good man Go upstairs and he’ll take good care of you.’<\/p>\n
So, up she went again. When she got there, Tony took off his socks and on his left foot he was missing three toes. When Maria saw this, she ran downstairs. ‘Mama, Mama, Tony’s got a foot and a half!’<\/p>\n
Her Mama said, ‘Stay here and stir the pasta.’<\/p>\n
