"We are going back to the world."
He raised his hand
and over the desolate earth
he traced in space
the sign of the dollar.

An old Mafia don lies sick on his death bed, his family gathered around. The old man lifts his head, and turns to his 12-year-old grandson:

"Vinny, my-a boy, I'm a die. I givva you my-a pearl-handled .38 revolver."

Vinny, never shy, says, "Thank you, grandfather — but I'd rather have your Rolex watch."

The old man lies quiet for a moment.

"Vinny, youa good-a-lookin-a boy. Somma day you grow up, havva lotta money, marry you a beautiful-a girl. You havva lotta beautiful-a children like-a me. You-a big-a man in-a Organization, you know? Then one-a day you comma home, you finda you wife, she-a sleepin' in-a you bed with another-a man.

"So what-a you-a gonna do?

"Looka at-a you watch and say, 'Time's-a up???"

Two casino dealers are waiting at the crap table. A very attractive blonde woman from South Alabama arrived and bet twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) on a single roll of the dice.

She said, "I hope you don't mind, but I feel much luckier when I play topless."

With that, she stripped to the waist; rolled the dice; and yelled, "Come on, Southern Girl needs new clothes!"

As the dice bounced and came to a stop, she jumped up-and-down and squealed "YES! YES! I WON! I WON!"

She hugged each of the dealers...and then picked up her winnings, and her clothes, and quickly departed.

The dealers stared at each other dumfounded. Finally, one of them asked, "What did she roll?"

The other answered, "I don't know... I thought you were watching."
