The Greatest Story Ever Told---A Semi Poetic Joke

.
One night while with my father, at a National Sales Meeting;
We all went out to dinner, sixteen at our table seating!
I was the only real young man there, just barely twenty one;
The guys were telling their favorite jokes, we were having lots of fun!
.
My Dad said “Tell them the one about Sumi”, I was nervous but said “OK”;
He announced “My Son would like to tell one”, they all looked down my way!
I stood up and cleared my frog throat, tried not to show my fear;
Then proceeded to tell the story, which you now are going to hear!
.
In the early nineteen thirties, there was a great wrestler from Asia named Sumi.  He was three hundred fifty pounds of solid muscle, and had never been beaten.  He was known for the famous “Pretzel Hold”, where he would twist his opponents so severely, that they would immediately concede.  After beating everyone in Asia and Europe, they brought him to Madison Square Garden, and ran an ad in the New York Times offering ten thousand dollars to anyone who could beat him.  Early in the morning, two slightly built Jewish men, Jake and Izzy, were at their business, and noticed the ad.  It was the Great Depression, and the bank had just turned them down for a ten thousand dollar loan.  After seeing it, they looked at one another and said “Why not?”.  They drew straws, Izzy getting the shorter one.  So he immediately called and volunteered to fight Sumi.  Fight night came and Jake had a ringside seat.  Into the ring came little Izzy, and Jake nervously smiled to him, giving the thumbs up sign.  All of a sudden, everyone in the arena gasped, for entering the ring, was the monstrous Sumi.  Two minutes later, the bell rang, and he raced over to Izzy, and got him in the Pretzel Hold.  As Jake watched, Izzy was twisted upside down, and his face started getting redder and redder.  Jake put his hands over his eyes, lamenting “Why did I ever let my dear friend do this?”.  Then came a tremendous roar from the crowd, as Jake peeked out expecting Izzy to be unconscious, but to his amazement, Sumi was lying there out cold, and Izzy’s arm was being raised in victory.  Jake raced into the ring, hugging Izzy, screaming “You Won, You Won!”.  Then he said to him, “How in the world did you do this, because after he got you in the Pretzel Hold I closed my eyes, and the next thing I knew, you had done it?”  Izzy smiled and replied, “Oy Jake, it wasn’t easy.  He ran over and got me in that Pretzel Hold, and I didn’t know which end was up.  With my last breath, I saw a pair of testicles hanging out, and I bit those mothers as hard as I could.  You know what Jake, you’ll never know your strength, until you bite your own testicles!!!”
.
I can hear you all now roaring, just like all those hysterical guys;
Some of them laughed so hard, that tears were in their eyes!
My Dad said, “Son, you did it, you knocked it out of the park”;
The night I became “The King Of Comedy”, the night I left my mark!

A mark in more way than one......funny story. Â Nice share. Â Thanks Larry R!
Hi JCG,
Thank you, do you think it is "mark"etable? Â If so, I might go into stand up. Â Of course, that's one thing you can never do if Sumi has you in the "Pretzel Hold".
Peace and Love,

ha....in my neck of the woods is a Japanese Restaurant in Hillburn NY called Mt. Fuji.  The owner  (now deceased) was an Olympic Wrestler in Japan in the early 1960's......
That's a new twist!
