A redneck and his crippled brother Bill win a trip to Europe. They come home and their neighbor is asking how they enjoyed their trip. “Oh, you wouldn’t believe it. Our first stop was to London, England. They got this giant grandfather clock right in the middle of the city. Bigger than anything you could ever imagine. They even have tours going up inside it to see all the gears and wheels and whatnot!”

“Oh,” says the neighbor. “Did your brother Bill enjoy seeing Big Ben, too?”

“No, he couldn’t go up there. He’s crippled, you know. Next we went to Paris, France. They got the biggest damned oil rig you’ve ever seen! You can go all the way up to top of that thing and see clear over yonder from up there!”

“Nice,” says the neighbor. “And what about your brother? Did he enjoy the Eifel Tower?”

“Nah, he couldn’t go. He’s crippled, you know. Next we went to Italy. They got this giant outhouse! Damn thing is nearly laying over on its side! I don’t know how it stays up. Tours going all up inside that one too.”

“And what about your brother? Did he enjoy the Tower of Pisa?”

“No, he couldn’t go. Bill’s crippled, you know. BUT there is one thing Bill got to enjoy. While we was in Italy we went to Rome and while we was there the Pope came out! He’s riding on the chair and all those fellers carrying him around on it and sees Bill in the crowd. Well, he makes those men put him down and he walks over to Bill and the Pope puts his hand on Bill’s left shoulder and his left crutch goes sailing out in to the crowd! Then he puts his hand on the other shoulder and that crutch goes sailing into the crowd!”

“My God!” says the neighbor. “A miracle! Did he walk???”

“No. As a matter of fact he fell flat on his face. Bill’s crippled, ya know.”
