An italian man walks into the market followed by his ten-year-old son.
The kid is spinning a 25 cent piece in the air and catching it between
his teeth. As they walk through the market someone bumps into the boy
at just the wrong moment and the coin goes straight into his mouth and
lodges in his throat. He immediately starts choking and going blue in
the face and the Dad starts panicking, shouting and screaming for help.
A middle-aged, fairly unremarkable italian man in a gray suit is
sitting at a coffee bar in the market reading his newspaper and sipping
a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion he looks up, puts his
coffee cup down on the saucer, neatly folds his newspaper and places it
on the counter. He gets up from his seat and makes his unhurried way
across the market. Reaching the boy (who is still standing, but just
barely) the italian man carefully takes hold of the kid's testicles and
squeezes gently but firmly. After a few seconds the boy convulses
violently and coughs up the 25 cent piece, which the man catches in his
free hand. Releasing the boy, the man hands the coin to the father and
walks back to his seat in the coffee bar without saying a word.
As soon as he is sure that his son has suffered no lasting ill effects,
the father rushes over to the man and starts effusively thanking him.
The man looks embarrassed and brushes off the father's thanks. As the
man is about to leave, the father asks one last question: "I've never
seen anybody do anything like that before - it was fantastic - what are
you, a surgeon or something like that?"
"Oh, good heavens, no", the man replies, "I work for the IRS."
