An 80-year-old Italian goes to the doctor for a check-up. The doctor is amazed at what good shape the guy is in and asked, "How do you stay in such great physical condition?"
"I'm Italian and I am a golfer," said the old guy, "and that's why I'm in such good shape. I'm up well before daylight and out golfing up and down the fairways. I have a glass of vino, and all is well."
'Well" said the doctor, "I'm sure that helps, but there's got to be more to it. How old was your Father when he died?"
"Who said my Father's dead?"
The doctor was amazed. "You mean you're 80 years old and your Father's still alive. How old is he?"
"He's 100 years old," replied the old Italian golfer. "In fact he golfed with me this morning, and then we went to the topless beach for a walk and had a little vino and that's why he's still alive. He's Italian and he's a golfer too."
"Well,' the doctor continued, "that's great, but I'm sure there's more to it than that. How about your Father's Father? How old was he when he died?"
"Who said my Nono's dead?"
Stunned, the doctor asked, "You mean you're 80 years old and your grandfather's still living! Incredible, how old is he?"
"He's 118 years old," answered the old Italian golfer.
The doctor was getting frustrated at this point, "So, I guess he went golfing with you this morning too?"
"No, Nono couldn't go this morning because he's getting married today."
At this point the doctor was close to losing it. "Getting married? Why would a 118 year-old guy want to get married?"
"Who said he wanted to?"
