jokes at papa gino’s, 8.24.25

i was craving pizza and chicken tenders and the only place that serves both is papa gino’s. i pulled up to the one in stoneham to make an order. as i was sitting down, an older couple walks in. the guy comes up to me and says the red sox are losing to the yankees. i’ve never seen him before but i responded by saying that’s strange because the red sox have been whooping the yankees all year. he goes to order with who i assume to be his wife and he comes back and tells me a joke. he says a guy goes to vegas and sees a beautiful woman. he gives her $100 bucks for a drink and tells her he wants to marry her. they get married, but 2 weeks into the marriage, he finds out she’s dumb, so he tells her she has to learn something before he gets back from work that night. when he gets home, he asks what she learned. she says she knows all the capitals of every state in the usa. thinking how he doesn’t know that, he was impressed so he asked her what’s the capital of idaho. she says “i” lmaoooo. a few moments pass and he comes back with another joke. he says mickey and minnie mouse were getting a divorce. when he told the lawyer, the lawyer responded to mickey “is it because she’s fucking crazy?” and mickey says “no, it’s because she’s fucking goofy.” lmaoooooo. as my food came out and i was eating, we engage in more conversation beyond jokes. he asks where i’m from, i said i grew up in north carolina. he says he was stationed there for some time, then lists a lot of the places he was stationed. he said he grew up in stoneham and came back after all his military experiences. he said that the girls in beverly were always pretty but they were all crazy lol. they eventually got their order and left to watch the ending of the yankees and red sox game, but it was quite an entertaining interaction while it lasted.

i’m going to keep his two jokes to pass to others because they were clever lol.
