Murphy was terribly overweight, so his went to see his Doctor, who put him on a strict diet.
The Doctor told Murphy, “I want you to eat regularly for two days, then skip a day. Then I want you to eat regularly again for another two days, then skip a day. Repeat this procedure for two weeks”.
The Doctor added, “If you follow this strict diet Murphy, then the next time you come to see me, you should have lost at least five pounds”.
So, two weeks later, when Murphy went back to see the Doctor, he shocked him by by having lost nearly sixty pounds!
“That is absolutely amazing, astounding, incredible”, the doctor said. “Did you follow my instructions?”
Murphy nodded. “To be sure I did Doctor”, he said, “but I’ll tell you though, be jaesuz, I t’aut I were going to drop dead on dat ‘tird day”.
The Doctor looked concerned, when he heard this. “From the hunger, you mean?” the Doctor asked.
Murphy replied, “Not from the hunger, from all the f**kin’ skippin!”
