LifeproTip: If it isnt orignal content, it will ALWAYS be a repost.

[–]ScottyDntKnow 6 points7 points ago

Truth! it might not be a reddit repost, but if you found it anywhere online, that means someone else posted it at least once before you...

[–]Downvotes_kill_Cats 5 points6 points ago

Oh its been on reddit before... I have seen this 5-8 times on reddit, before that on 4chan. But it still makes me smile so have fun with your slutty upvote for posting a pic that has been around a bit too much.

Take your freshness and get out.

OC is crap we love reposts

[–]baltona 52 points53 points ago

It's an urban legend older than the Internet.

[–]johnnymetoo 2 points3 points ago

You took the words right out of my mouth... :-O

[–]hokieflea 0 points1 point ago

It must have been while you were kissin me

[–]Gaspod 13 points14 points ago

It is lifted from the 70's TV series Porridge, so those of you saying "it's older than the internet" are right.

[–]shining_ 14 points15 points ago

Fw: Fw: Fw: Fw: Re: Check this out! LOL

[–]TannerBoyle 6 points7 points ago

That thing was a repost before Al Gore invented the internet.

[–]bethyparker 23 points24 points ago

when people use "not sure if repost" means, they know it is repost, but are unashamedly going to karma whore anyway.

[–]superpuff420 8 points9 points ago

But... but... it made him smile :)

[–]gassal01 8 points9 points ago

If you found it on the internet, it is most likely a repost.

[–]Station1337 1 point2 points ago

Oh yeah, Vinnie seems like a nice guy. Helping the old man out. What they don't tell you is that Vinnie did actually murder people for the mob. Gave a few Italian neck ties. Vinnie is a sick fuck.

[–]my_name_is_stupid 1 point2 points ago

Thanks for the email, Grandma!

I hate that someone added 'Fuck the Police' to it. Don't think it had that dumb (irrelevant) caption when I first saw it.

[–]Dani212M 1 point2 points ago

If you think it may be a repost... it's a repost

[–]bassboat1 2 points3 points ago

Repost. Here's the original version

[–]dazwah 2 points3 points ago

Repost and not true!

[–]ChromeDeagle 4 points5 points ago

It is, but still a great story!

[–]Kingroad 0 points1 point ago

I think this is a repost, but i don't care. I haven't seen this one in such a long time, made me smile.

[–]Tenugui 1 point2 points ago

OLDER THAN THE INTERNET

[–]Tenugui 0 points1 point ago

no srsly. it is actually older than the internet.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I've noticed that this has 47 karma and yet every single comment is bitching about it being a repost.

[–]APretentiousHipster 0 points1 point ago

Vinnie for president.

[–]offthetwig 0 points1 point ago

made me damn laugh and cry at the same time.

also...I just saw it for the first time, so I guess that is why reposts exist.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

I've probably heard this joke more than any other.

[–]SakeBomberman 0 points1 point ago

I enjoyed the story regardless of the fact its most likely total bullshit and a repost. Good ol vinnie, what a guy!

[–]Justwokeup 0 points1 point ago

Best read as of today

[–]StockmanBaxter 0 points1 point ago

Couldn't tell if it was a repost. You did notice the really poor quality picture. Yes it's been around the internet for a very long time.

In fact I'm pretty sure this was taken from an email forward.

[–]gman410 0 points1 point ago

repost

[–]FukThePolice 0 points1 point ago

Was a repost, was worth re up voting :)

[–]dudemansam4189 0 points1 point ago

If he isn't sure if this is a repost, he must be new to Reddit...hell, he must be new to the internet.

[–]lardgrease 0 points1 point ago

Precious!

[–]colinski94 0 points1 point ago

It would be great to have a son like that, a son that will help even if he is in prison

[–]BeeAmoreDarling 0 points1 point ago

I liked it, repost or not. :) Have an upvote.

[–]FourXeroTwo 0 points1 point ago

Sure it's a repost, but does anyone have the original source?

[–]SmackadoodleJ 0 points1 point ago

Fan-super-tasmastical-orgasmastic-ness!!!

[–]GldRush98 0 points1 point ago

You posted something you got in an email forward to reddit saying you weren't sure if it's a repost? Are you fucking retarded?

[–]Lunchin[S] 1 point2 points ago

who the fuck said it was from email? i saw it on my timeline

[–]Cyberslasher -1 points0 points ago

Good guy prison inmate.

[–]rage_quit6677 -2 points-1 points ago

HOW DARE YOU POST SOMETHING I'VE ALREADY SEEN FOR FAKE INTERNET POINTS THAT IN NO WAY CONTRIBUTE TO ANYTHING??

[–]ativa -2 points-1 points ago

Def a repost, but a worthy one
