SNAPDRAGON’S JOKE
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, then eat regularly again 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.
When the Irishman returned, he shocked the doctor
by having lost nearly 60lbs.
'Why, that's amazing!' the doctor said, 'Did you follow my
instructions?' The Irishman nodded ....
'I'll tell you though, by jaesuz, I t'aut I were going
to drop dead on dat 3rd day.'
'From the hunger, you mean?' asked the doctor.
No ! from the Bloody skippin !!
