Joke of the week
Years ago when Karen Germano was having a baby, Danny was overseas. The following day Karen sent a message to Danny that she had twins. Danny got a phone and called Karen straight away.
“Karen, I am so happy we have had twins, wow,” he said.
“Who took you to the hospital?”
Karen said. “your brother Roly drove me and since I had to be anaethetised he named the twins.”
Danny was horrified, “but my brother is an idiot, what the hell did he name them.”
Karen said, “we have a boy and a girl. Your brother named the girl Denise.”
“That’s ok, I like that,” said Danny. “What about our son.”
Karen said, “He has named him De-nephew.”
