A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled
for a trip to Rome with her husband. She mentioned the trip to the
hairdresser, who responded:
"Rome? Why would anyone want to go there?
It's crowded and dirty. You're crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you
getting there?"
"We're taking Continental," was the reply. "We got
a great rate!"
"Continental?" exclaimed the hairdresser. "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
Rome?"
"We'll be at this exclusive little place over on
Rome's Tiber
River called Teste."
"Don't go any further. I know that place.
Everybody thinks it's gonna be something special and exclusive, but it's
really a dump."
"We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to
see the Pope."
"That's rich," laughed the hairdresser. 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, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The
hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome.
"It was wonderful,"
explained the woman, "not only were we on time in one of Continental'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 handsome
28-year-old
steward who waited on me hand and foot. And the hotel was great! They'd just
finished a $5 million remodeling job, and now it's a jewel, the finest hotel
in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and
gave us
their owner's suite at no extra charge!"
"Well," muttered the
hairdresser, "that's all well
and good, but I know you didn't get to see the
Pope."
"Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the
Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder, he explained that the Pope
likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his
private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me. Sure enough,
five
minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I
knelt down and he spoke a few words to me."
"Oh, really! What did he
say?"
He said: "Who fucked up your
hair?"
