( Yes its a recycled joke originally about Rome )
He mentioned the trip to the barber, who responded,
“Why would anyone want to go there? It’s crowded and dirty and full of Brits . You’re crazy to go to P.D.I. So, how are you getting there?”
“We’re taking Ryanair,” was the reply. “We got a great rate!”
“Ryanair!” exclaimed the barber. “That’s a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly and they’re always late. So, where are you staying in P.D.I.?”
“We’ll be at the Green Field apts.”
“That dump! That’s the worst hotel in P.D.I. . The rooms are small, the service is surly and they’re overpriced. So, whatcha doing when you get there?”
"We’re going to go to see Felipe VI, the King of Spain. He's visiting."
"That’s rich,” laughed the barber. “You and a million other people trying to see him. He’ll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You’re going to need it!”
A month later, Dave again came in for his regular haircut. The barber asked him about his trip to P.D.I.
“It was wonderful,” explained Dave. “Not only were we on time in one of Ryanair’s brand new planes, but it was overbooked and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a beautiful young stewardess who waited on me hand and foot. And the hotel! Well, it was great! They’d just finished a 25 million euro remodeling job and now it’s the finest hotel on the island. They were overbooked too, so they apologized and gave us the presidential suite at no extra charge!”
“Well,” muttered the barber. “I know you didn’t get to see the King.”
“Actually, we were quite lucky, for as went to see him one of the Kings guards tapped me on the shoulder and explained that the King likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I’d be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the King would personally greet me. Sure enough, five minutes later, the King walked in. As I knelt down he spoke to me.”
“What did he say?”
“He said, ‘Where’d you get this shitty haircut?" |
