I don't know if that's possible. Afterall, the guy has published joke books about himself.
Granted, that's one of the cooler moves -- that and donating the proceeds -- he's ever done to raise my respect for the guy. But it's still not clear that he realizes how much he's the butt of these jokes.
OK, ok -- another old classic Totti barzelletta in italiano:
Ilary a Totti: "A maggico, 'sta notte 'ndò stai? Sopra o sotto?"
E lui: "Ma perché... c'avemo er letto a castello?!?"

Totti escapes TV ban Tuesday 22 November, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Francesco Totti will not face disciplinary action for kicking Pavel Nedved in the head during Roma’s 4-1 home defeat to Juventus on Saturday night, it has emerged.
After an aerial challenge during the first half in which Nedved fouled Totti, the Roma captain then stretched out a leg and appeared to aim a kick at the head of the prostrate Czech midfielder.
It was initially thought that the incident was missed by match official Gianluca Paparesta, which would have paved the way to a possible disciplinary hearing.
However, television football show Controcampo revealed pictures after the incident in which Paparesta - who booked Nedved for the original foul – is seen absolving the Italy international for the kick which, in his opinion, deemed to be accidental.
"It’s okay," he said. "You didn’t do it on purpose."
As the match official witnessed the episode and passed his own judgement during the course of the match, there will be no further action taken. Totti has, therefore, escaped his second suspension of the season.
