(Sent by an Italian-American friend.)

A man is walking down the street saying the most terrible things about Italians to his friend. He blames the Italians for everything, the dark ages, the black death, WW1, WW2, problems in the Catholic Church, poverty, the Vietnam war, famine in Africa and so on. He is cursing the Italians in the most vile language.

Upon turning the corner they spot an Italian organ grinder with a small monkey. The Italian hating man reaches into his pocket, pulls out a few coins and places them in the cup the monkey is holding.

You hate Italians so much. How come you did that?, his friend asks.

The Italian hater replies, Oh, I do hate Italians, thats for sure, but the kids are so cute when theyre young.
