Milpitan Vacations in Rome

A Milpitan walked in to The Park Victoria Barber Shop for his regular haircut. As he snips away, Anthony asks “What’s up?”

The Milpitan proceeds to explain he’s taking a vacation to Rome.

“ROME?!” Anthony says, “Why would you want to go there? It’s a crowded dirty city full of Italians! You’d be crazy to go to Rome! So how ya getting there?”

“We’re taking TWA,” the Milpitan replies.

“TWA?!” yells Anthony. “They’re a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly and they’re always late! So where you staying in Rome?”

The Milpitan says “We’ll be at the downtown International Marriot.”

“That DUMP?!” says Anthony. “That’s the worst hotel in the city! The rooms are small, the service is surly and slow and they’re overpriced! So whatcha doing when you get there?”

The Milpitan says “We’re going to go see the Vatican and hope to see the Pope.”

“HA! That’s rich!” laughs Anthony. “You and a million other people trying to see him. He’ll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on THIS trip. You’re going to need it!”

A month later, the Milpitan comes in for his regular haircut. Anthony says, “Well, how did that trip to Rome turn out? Betcha TWA gave you the worst flight of your life!”

“No, quite the opposite” explained the Milpitan. “Not only were we on time in one of their brand new planes, but it was full and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a beautiful 28 year old flight attendant who waited on me hand and foot!”

“Hmmm,” Anthony says, “Well, I bet the hotel was just like I described.”

“No, quite the opposite! They’d just finished a $25 million remodeling. It’s the finest hotel in Rome, now. They were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us the Presidential suite for no extra charge!”

“Well,” Anthony mumbles, “I KNOW you didn’t get to see the Pope!”

“Actually, we were quite lucky. As we toured the Vatican, a Swiss guard tapped me on the shoulder and explained the Pope likes to personally meet some of the visitors, and if I’d be so kind as to step into this private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me. Sure enough, after 5 minutes the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand. I knelt down as he spoke a few words to me.”

Impressed, Anthony asks, “Tell me, please! What’d he say?”

“Oh, not much really. Just “Where’d you get that awful haircut?”

[The Park Victoria Barber Shop gave excellent men’s haircuts and was only picked on for this joke because they are good sports and long-time businessmen here in Milpitas. Photo taken by Mel Rose and used with his, and their, permission. The Park Victoria Barber Shop used to be located on the south side of the Ocean Market at Park Victoria and Calaveras Blvd. It is now closed.]

The turkey shot out of the oven

A Milpitas Mom’s Favorite Joke.

By Jack Prelutsky

To the tune of “My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean.”

The turkey shot out of the oven
and rocketed into the air,
it knocked every plate off the table
and partly demolished a chair.

It ricocheted into a corner
and burst with a deafening boom,
then splattered all over the kitchen,
completely obscuring the room.

It stuck to the walls and the windows,
it totally coated the floor,
there was turkey attached to the ceiling,
where there’d never been turkey before.

It blanketed every appliance,
It smeared every saucer and bowl,
there wasn’t a way I could stop it,
that turkey was out of control.

I scraped and I scrubbed with displeasure,
and thought with chagrin as I mopped,
that I’d never again stuff a turkey
with popcorn that hadn’t been popped.

In My Next Life I Want To Be A Bear

Animal Jokes

In my next life I want to be a bear.

If you’re a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months.

I could deal with that.

Before you hibernate, you’re supposed to eat yourself stupid.

I could deal with that, too.

If you’re a bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) while you’re sleeping and wake to partially grown, cute cuddly cubs.

I could definitely deal with that.

If you’re a mama bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you swat them too.

I could deal with that.

If you’re a bear, your mate EXPECTS you to wake up growling. He EXPECTS that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat. He KNOWS not to get between you and the food.

Yup….. Gonna be a bear.

Sample the whiskey to check for tonsisticity… Whew is it hot in here ?

Okay.. Next, sift two cups of salt… or something.

Grease the oven.

Turn the cake tin to 350 degrees.

Don’t forget to beat off the turner.

Check the whishkey again.

Throw up in the bowl and go to bed.

Real Fruit Cake Recipes

My apologies to all those who came here from a search engine expecting a real fruit cake recipe. Here are some real fruit cake recipe sites…

Note to those wondering why a “booze” joke is on a community website

To those in the Temperance Union: You will notice, if you go through the links on my page, that links for “whiskey” lead to information about the Whiskey Rebellion, the Temperance Movement, the dangers of drinking, and how the distillation of whiskey influenced American and Canadian history, and that the last link to “Throw up…” is to Alcoholics Anonymous 🙂

Sometimes a bit of humor can help a family that is in denial find the resources they need to cope with alcoholism, and get help. I find it does a better job of getting people to AA than attempting to lecture.

You’ll find I do this a lot on my site: just gently persuade adults and children to look a little deeper into matters, but with a gentle, gloved hand and a light heart.

Milpitas Role in Telecom History

After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year outside of Buffalo, New York scientists found traces of copper cable dating back 120 years. They came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, a Wheeling WV archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet somewhere just outside Woodsdale. Shortly after, a story in the The Intelligencer read, “WV archaeologists, reporting a finding of 200 year old copper cable, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers.

One week later, a local newspaper in Milpitas, California, reported the following: “After digging down about 30 feet deep in his pasture, Pete Silva, a hell of an engineer and a self-taught archaeologist and gynecologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Silva has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Milpitas had already gone wireless.”

Fishermen Catch A Mermaid

Three dads from Milpitas were out having a relaxing day fishing at Spring Lake, in Ed Levin County Park, when one of them hooks something big, and when his buddies help him haul it in, they discover it’s a mermaid. She begs to be set free and promises to grant each of them one wish in return.

The UCSC Extension professor just doesn’t believe it and says: “Ok, if you can really grant wishes, then double my I.Q.”

The mermaid says: “Done.” Suddenly, he starts reciting Shakespeare flawlessly and analyzing it with extreme insight.

The Stellartech scientist is so amazed he says to the mermaid: “Triple my I.Q.”

The mermaid says: “Done.” The guy starts to spout out all the mathematical solutions to problems that have been stumping all the scientists of varying fields: biology, physics, chemistry, and so on.

The Cisco software engineer is so enthralled with the changes in his friends that he says to the mermaid: “Quintuple my I.Q.”

The mermaid looks at him and says: “You know, I normally don’t try to change people’s minds when they make a wish, but I really wish you’d reconsider.”

The guy says: “Nope, I want you to increase my I.Q. times five, and if you don’t do it, I won’t set you free.”

“Please,” says the mermaid “You don’t know what you’re asking … it’ll change your entire view of the universe … won’t you ask for something else? … a million dollars, long life, sex appeal … anything?”

But no matter what the mermaid said, the third guy insisted on having his I.Q. increased by five times its usual power. So the mermaid sighed and said: “Done.”

He’s now a mom.
