Joke Of The Day: Tom Jones Syndrome
 |
This guy went to his doctor and said, “Doc, I can’t stop singing certain songs. All morning I’ve been humming ‘The Green, Green Grass Of Home.’ Yesterday it was, ‘Delilah.’ Last week I sang ‘What’s New Pussycat?’ at least 100 times! What’s wrong with me?”
The Doctor says, “Sounds like Tom Jones Syndrome to me.” The man says, “Never heard of that. Is it common?” Doc says, “It’s not unusual.”

Tom Jones and Elvis BOTH Wanted to Beat up John Lennon
This is a great story detailing the friendship between Tom Jones
and Elvis
.
It was not the only time that Tom had seen Elvis angry. Whenever John Lennon’s name came up, he would fly into a rage.
His dislike of the pacifist Beatle was born from the night I took the Fab Four to his house for their first — and last — meeting.
John had annoyed Presley by making his anti-war feelings known the moment he stepped into the massive lounge and spotted the table lamps — model wagons engraved with the message: ‘All the way with LBJ.’ Lennon hated President Lyndon B Johnson for raising the stakes in the Vietnam War.
Presley allied himself with the FBI director Edgar Hoover and encouraged him to have Lennon thrown out of the U.S.
‘He should’ve been kicked out long ago,’ Elvis told Tom that night. ‘I had a run-in with him myself,’ Tom said. He made some smart remark at a TV studios in England, where we were appearing on the show Thank Your Lucky Stars. I wanted to take him outside and see what sort of hiding his intellect would stand.’
For the first time that night, Elvis smiled. Tom was talking his kind of language.
