Two priests decided to go to Goa in India for their holiday, and so as not to be recognized as priests, they decided to go to the beach, buying the most modern swimsuits, dark glasses, sun hats, and they sat on the deckchair looking around, when a girl with the tiniest bikini passes in front of them greeting them: 'Good morning Father Pavlo, good morning Father Pedro!' The next day the two priests, who did not want to be recognized, decided to change the swimsuits, the glasses, the hat, and lying on the deckchair they saw the same girl with an even smaller bikini passing in front of them and saying: 'Good morning Father Pavlo, good morning Father Pedro.' One of the priests asks the girl: 'How do you know we are priests?' The girl answers: 'What? Didn't you recognize me? I'm Sister Maria!'
One day a woman goes to the dentist and asks him: 'How much does it cost to pull a wisdom tooth?' The dentist answers her: '500 liras.' 'That's very expensive, isn't there a cheaper way?' 'Yes,' says the dentist, 'if you don't want anaesthesia it comes to 300 liras.' 'Still very expensive, cheaper?' 'If you want it without anaesthesia and with pliers, it comes to 200 liras.' 'Still a lot.' 'My student who is in the first year of university will do it for you for 100 liras.' 'That's fine,' says the woman. 'Book an appointment for tomorrow with your student for my Mother-in-law!'
