Il lavoro nuoce alla salute - Italian laziness

Ecco a voi ladies and Gents i sette precetti del lavoratore medio italiano:

Primo: Si nasce stanchi e si vive per riposare.

Secondo: Il lavoro e' fatica, nessuno puo' affermare il contrario.

Terzo: Se vedi un uomo che sta riposando aiutalo.

Quarto: A memoria d'uomo si deve dire che : di troppo riposo non e' morto mai nessuno.

Quinto: Con il lavoro si suda. Il sudore bagna, il vento si alza e tu ti becchi la polmonite.

Sesto: Non fare mai oggi quello che qualcun altro puo' fare per te domani.

Settimo: Se hai voglia di lavorare, non ti allarmare: siediti vedrai che ti passa.

Da uno spettacolo del grande Walter Chiari

English version

Ladies and Gents, below you'll find the 7 rules of Italian avarge workers:

First: We were born tired and we live to get rest.

Second: Work means efforts, troubles and difficulties. Nobody can deny it.

Third: If you see someone who gets some rest, do the same.

Fourth: It has never been reported that someone is dead because relax.

Fifth: If you work hard you are going to sweat, so breeze hit you. Consequentially you got pneumonia.

Sixth: Do not do today something that someone else can do for you tomorrow.

Seventh: If you want to work, do not worry. Seat in a comfortable chair and you'll see that your desire will disappear.

ps. In the fifth point I wrote swear instead sweat... It was a mistake that I corrected thanks to Fabio R, one of my readers. But sometimes if you work hard you can swear too... at least Italian average worker is able to do both. Moreover, they say: " You see, I can sweat and swear while I am working so it's a matter of fact I am multitask"
