What
would any Holiday be without jokes.
We
hope these will livin your Holiday.
O'Connell
was staggering home with a small Paddy in his back pocket when he
slipped
and fell heavily. Struggling to his feet, he felt something wet running
down
his leg.
"Please,
God," he implored, "let it be blood!"
An
Irish man walks into a pub. The bartender asks him, "what'll you have?"
The
man says, "Give me three pints of Guinness please."
So
the bartender brings him three pints and the man proceeds to alternately
sip one, then the other, then the third until
they're
gone. He then orders three more.
The
bartender says, "Sir, I know you like them cold. You don't have to order
three at a time. I can keep an eye on it and
when
you get low I'll bring you a fresh cold one."
The
man says, "You don't understand. I have two brothers, one in Australia
and one in the States. We made a vow to
each
other that every Saturday night we'd still drink together. So right now,
my brothers have three Guinness Stouts too,
and
we're drinking together.
The
bartender thought that was a wonderful tradition.
Every
week the man came in and ordered three beers. Then one week he came in
and ordered only two. He drank them
and
then ordered two more.
The
bartender said to him, "I know what your tradition is, and I'd just like
to say that I'm sorry that one of your brothers
died."
The
man said, "Oh, me brothers are fine----I just quit drinking."
We've
got our own recipe for Irish stew: Get some meat, some potatoes and a lot
of Guinness Stout. Drink all of the stout.
Forget
about the stew.
As
soon as she had finished convent school, a bright young girl named Lena
shook
the dust of Ireland off her shoes and made her way to New York where
before
long, she became a successful performer in show business.
Eventually
she returned to her home town for a visit and on a Saturday night
went
to confession in the church, which she had always attended as a child.
In
the
confessional Father Sullivan recognized her and began asking her about
her
work.
She explained that she was an acrobatic dancer, and he wanted to know
what
that meant. She said she would be happy to show him the kind of thing she
did
on stage.
She
stepped out of the confessional and within sight of Father Sullivan, she
went
into a series of cartwheels, leaping splits, handsprings and backflips.
Kneeling
near the confessional, waiting their turn, were two middle-aged
ladies.
They witnessed Lena's acrobatics with wide eyes, and one said to the
other:
"Will you just look at the penance Father Sullivan is givin' out this
night,
and me without me bloomers on!"
A
new priest at his first mass was so nervous he couldn't stand still. He
asked Father Murphy for some advice. Father
Murphy
replied, "When I'm worried about gettin' nervous on the pulpit, I take
a wee bit o' whiskey. Just to calm my
nerves."
So the next Sunday he took the older priest's advice. Before the mass,
he got nervous and took a drink. He then
proceeded
to talk up a storm. Upon return to his office after mass, he found the
following note on his door:
1. A few sips of whiskey. Not the whole bottle.
2. There are 10 commandments, not 12.
3. There are 12 disciples, not 10.
4. Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.
5. Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.
6. We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.
7. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Senior, Junior, and the Spook.
8. David slew Goliath, he did not kick the shit out of him.
9. When David was hit by a rock and knocked off his donkey, don't say "He was stoned off his ass."
10. We do not refer to the cross as the Big T!
11.
When Jesus broke the bread at the Last Supper he said, "Take this and eat
it, for it is my body"; he did not say, Eat
me."
12. The Virgin Mary is not referred to as the, "Mary with the Cherry".
13. The recommended grace before a meal is not: "Rub-A-dub-dub, thanks for the grub, yea God"
14. Next Sunday there will be a taffy-pulling contest at St. Patrick's, not a patrick-pulling contest at St. Taffy's.
A
Sergeant and a Private were patrolling the streets in a Irish town near
the Northern Irish border. There was a 9.00PM
curfew
in place. Suddenly private Slattery shoots a man walking down a lane. The
sergeant screams, Slattery its only
8.45,
why did you shoot him, Slattery replys, well I know where he lives and
he would never have made it by 9.00.
These
two lads were in the army. One was Irish and One was Jewish. They were
doubling around the square, and when
they
were halted, the jewish boy, puffing, said to the Irish Lad, "I hate doubling,
paddy." The Irish lad said, "I'm not too
keen
on Tel Aviv, either.".
Pat
and Kyran were getting ready to go on a camping trip. The first one said
"I'm taking along a gallon of whiskey just in
case
of rattlesnake bites. What are you taking?" The other one said "Two rattlesnakes!"
