[Users] Dieting And Magic!

[Ethan]

Hello all,

I got these stories from another list.

Hope you like it!


Dieting

  An Irishman was terribly overweight, so his doctor put him on a 
diet.
"I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day, and 
repeat this procedure for 2 weeks.  The next time I see you, you 
should have lost at least 5 pounds."
  Two weeks later the Irishman returned, shocking the doctor by 
having lost nearly 50 pounds!
  "Why, that's amazing!" the doctor said, "Did you follow my 
instructions?"
  The Irishman nodded.  "I'll tell you though," he said tiredly, 
"I t'aut I were going to drop dead dat third day!"
  "From hunger, you mean?" asked the doctor.
  "No," exclaimed the Irishman.  "From all dat SKIPPING!"

Magic!

  A 65-year-old man went to the doctor for his yearly exam and 
the doctor was amazed at what good shape the guy was in.
  The doctor asked, "To what do you attribute your good health?"
The old timer said, "I'm a magician and that's why I'm in such 
good shape.  I'm up well before daylight, work in my shop all day 
inventing new tricks, work every night presenting my magic 
shows."
  The doctor said, "Well, I'm sure that helps, but there's got to 
be more to it.  How old was your dad when he died?"
  The old timer said, "Who said my dad's dead?"
  The doctor said, "You mean you're 65 years old and your dad's 
still alive?
How old is he?"
  The old timer said, "He's 84 years old and he travels all over 
the country performing.  That's why he's still alive...  he's a 
magician, too!"
  The doctor said, "Well, that's great, but I'm sure there's more 
to it.  How about your dad's dad? How old was he when he died?"
  The old timer said, "Who said my grandpa's dead?"
  The doctor said, "You mean your dad is 84 years old and his 
father is still living? How old is he?"
  The old timer said, "Grandpa is 102 years old and he's a 
magician too."
  The doctor was getting frustrated at this point and said, "I 
guess he's out doing shows everyday too?"
  The old timer said, "No...  Grandpa can't do any shows all this 
week because he just got married and he's on his honeymoon."
  The doctor said in amazement, "Got married? Why would a 
102-year-old guy want to get married?"
  The old timer said, "Who said he wanted to?"
