An Irishman was terribly overweight, so his doctor put him on a diet.

'I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a full day, and repeat

this procedure for 2 weeks. The next time I see you, you should have lost at

least 5 pounds.'

When the Irishman returned, he shocked the doctor by having lost nearly 60

POUNDS!

'Why, that's amazing!' the doctor said, 'Did you follow my instructions?'

The Irishman nodded...'I'll tell you though, by Jaesus, I t'aut I was going

to drop dead on that 3rd day.'

'From hunger, you mean?'

'No, from all that dam skippin', the Irishman said.
