There used to be a fruit stand in my neighborhood run by a gentleman of foreign extraction. I never found out the country from which he hailed because the only words he would ever say to me is "Hi, Penis."

Every morning I would buy an apple from him as I walked to work and I would say "How's it going?" and he would reply "Hi, Penis."

Years later he passed away and I went to the funeral. The minister conducting the ceremony finally shed light on it.

"He would greet everyone with the same word: happiness."

Hi penis, indeed.

    Hehe! Can’t help laughing although I had heard the joke before as something Charles de Gaulle’s wife said to him on their wedding night. “Oh what a penis!” Keep them coming Christopher, (if you’ll excuse the expression.)
