Ah the Irish

Ah the Irish

Thanks to my friend George for these, not sure where the;y originated from but I thought they were funny, and since my great grandmother on my fathers side came to Canada from Ireland, I am passing them along.

I went into the confessional box after many years of being away from the Catholic Church.

Inside I found a fully equipped bar with Guinness on tap. On one wall, there was a row of decanters with fine Irish whiskey and Waterford crystal glasses.

On the other wall was a dazzling array of the finest cigars and chocolates.

When the Priest came in, I said to him, “Father, forgive me, for it's been a very long time since I've been to confession, but I must first admit that the confessional box is much more inviting than it used to be.”

The Priest replied, ”You moron! You're on my side.”

Some Light Dublin Traffic Humor

A car full of Irish nuns are sitting at a traffic light in downtown Dublin when a bunch of rowdy drunks pull up alongside of them. “Hey, show us yer teets, ya bloody penguins” shouts one of the drunks.

Quite shocked, Mother Superior turns to Sister Mary Immaculata and says, “I don't think they know who we are; show them your cross.”

Sister Mary Immaculata rolls down her window and shouts, ”Piss off, ya fookin' little wankers, before I come over there and rip yer balls off.” She then rolls up her window, looks back at Mother Superior quite innocently, and asks, “Did that sound cross enough?”

AN IRISH BLONDE IN A CASINO

An attractive blonde from Cork, Ireland arrived at the casino. She seemed a little intoxicated and bet twenty-thousand Euros on a single roll of the dice.

She said, “I hope you don't mind, but I feel much luckier when I'm completely naked.”

With that, she stripped from the neck down, rolled the dice and with an Irish brogue yelled, “Come on, baby, Mama needs new clothes!”

As the dice came to a stop, she jumped up and down and squealed: “YES! YES! I WON, I WON!”

She hugged each of the dealers and then picked up her winnings (and her clothes) and quickly departed.

The dealers stared at each other dumbfounded. Finally, one of them asked, “What did she roll”

The other answered, “I don't know - I thought you were watching the dice."

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Not all Irish are drunks.

Not all blondes are dumb.

But all men....are men.

Ken, I am a strange mix of Irish, (from County Mayo) British (Greater London), and German (Bavaria) and Eastern European (Romania (Ciuja County) according to 23 and me so I am a Gypsy Rover with a love for German Beer who can talk forever about the weather and I keep a stiff upper lip.

Sadly, Royce, the Irish often have their legs pulled for their reputation of not always being the brightest tools on the shed, but they've got a cunning sense of humour. When I first graduated as an engineer, my first job was with Wimpey, a major British construction group, just outside London. Back then the Irish were the mainstay of the construction industry's labour force and some Wimpey management used to unofficially boast that the company letters stood for We Employ More Paddies Every Year. Not to be outdone, the ever-ready retort was that, backwards, the letters stood for You English Pigs Make Irishmen Weap. 🤣😂🤣 I guess that, in some circles today, there's still no love lost between the Irish and the English. 🤔
