Its a song, Pizzaman by Cisco Kid. Whether this is the original version of the song/joke, I'm not sure.

I enjoyed that. I live in a heavily Italian community so it's even funnier.

Considering that Cisco Kid released that song in 2001 and I heard this joke way back before 1990 (it was an East Indian visitor rather than an Italian back then), I'd say not.

A bus stops and two obviously Italian men get on. They seat themselves, and engage in animated conversation. The lady sitting behind them ignores their conversation at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of the men say the following:

"Emma come first. Den I come. Two asses, they come together. I come again. Two asses, they come together again. I pee twice. Then I come once more."

"You foul-mouthed wop swine," retorted the lady indignantly. "In this country we don't talk about our sex lives in public!"

"Hey, cool down lady," said the man. "I was only telling' my friend here how to spell Mississippi."

I vaguely remember seeing this once on a greeting card, back in the early 1980s. I was never able to remember the whole thing, but that's definitely it. Thanks; I hadn't been able to find that one for the longest time.

YW!

My uncle was a union rep and I was going through some of his old files in 1993 and saw this joke (a several generations removed photocopy of a photocopy) on a sheet of paper and after making another photocopy for myself I made it my business to spread the joke as much and as well as I could, in person and on the internet. I even had the joke safely tucked away in an old file on a previous computer that I no longer use (but haven't disposed of).

When I was writing a different post in a "sleepy" thread I reminded myself of the joke and did a quick Google and, Voici.

An oldie but a goodie that deserves a new round of circulation and popularity.

I dunno. It was funny in eighth grade, I guess.

I enjoyed chocolate cake in the 8th grade and I still do. Doesn't everyone?

Feh. You used to see a seventh-generation Xerox of this tacked onto some bulletin board next to the cartoon of the caterpillar humping the french fry. I wouldn't have thought it was worthy of its own thread, but folks here seem to like it, so what do I know.

FWIW, my grandfather came from Italy and when he landed in New York he bought a book to help him learn English...but it was actually a book on English Literature. My father still has it. It's all Elizabethan poetry.

A caterpillar humping a FRENCH FRY???



Maybe it deserves it's own thread! I'd like to see it.

Oddly enough, "Caterpillar French Fry" returns nothing in Google Images.

The caterpillar can plainly see that whatever it is has no legs and can't run away or defend itself. So, what does it do?

He rapes it!



THEN, when the authorities go looking for him he goes into hiding and drastically alters his appearance and a few weeks later, looking completely transformed he wings his way out of the clutches of the law.

Hmph!

I HATE caterpillars!

Well, that's his major mistake. Now he'll have to eat her or else she's gonna talk, BIG time! See, that is the mentality of those serial rapist caterpillars.



I HATE serial rapist caterpillars!

Wow! This is great. We might discover the earliest evidence of this joke. And funny thing is I don't know any other joke where so many people remember the year they first ran across it.

Very interesting.

What is it about this joke that makes people recall it so clearly and so well?

Although I don't know anyone who recalls it so well that they have comitted it to memory. That means everyone has to keep a copy of it somewhere. Could that explain how and why people remember when and where they first heard it?

Hmmm, I wonder.

It's not about recall. I told it to everyone I know for the last 23 years!

Actually, if your life has enough clear-cut fundamental changes (such as moving from a predominantly English-speaking environment to a predominantly German-speaking one), it's fairly simple to narrow down some events to a few years.

I heard it (with an Italian in it) before 1990.
