Brain Transplant |
|
I was in Pairc Ui Chamoimh last Sunday, when 3 girls sitting behind me were talking about the injury the Chelsea goalie Petr Cech received, when one said that he had to have a "Brain Transplant during the week because of it"
Oh dear |

Before Penalty Points |
|
| A few years back a friend of mine, Dave, was caught speeding on Horgans Quay. He rolled down the window, the cop leaned against it and said, "I suppose you know why I'm stopping you?" To which Dave replied, "You wouldn't be looking for directions by any chance?!" |

Away with the birds |
|
I overheard a couple of old men on the No. 8 bus talking about the weather. One said that because it was so hot the grass could do with a bit of rain, the other man said that there was no rain forcast, when another elderly passenger turned around in his seat and joined the conversation saying: "Its a good sign of bad weather when you see one crow flying together" Sure we'll pray for that so said the men.
Now thats something I'd like to see. |

What a crack |
|
| Working for a carpet furniture shop a while back I took a call from a customer who had her rooms measured and was waiting for the fitting. Not having any of the details I asked her what the fitter looked like so I could speak to him when he came into the shop. " to be honest ", she said, " I saw more of his arse than his face" |

Old lady tourettes? |
|
| I was inside in Waterstones last tuesday evening at 5.30pm queing up to make my purchase. There was a little old lady standing in front of me in the queue talking to the the till operator, she was asking if they they had the new Darina Allan cookbook. The till operator politely said they were waiting for it to come into stock and asked if she would like a copy reserved in her name. In a loud and clear voice the old lady told her to "F*CK OFF" before spitting on the counter and walking over the movie section. |

Is it a bird? Is it a plane?... |
|
| Sitting out in the back garden with my Mam during the good weather we were looking up at all the planes heading off in different directions. One plane (obviously flying at a lower altitude than the others) seemed to be going by faster than the others in the sky. Serious as anything, blocking the sun from her eyes with her hand, my Mam turns to myself and my Dad and says.... "Jesus will you look at that one, its flying" |

Ham and Cheese WHAT?!?!?!? |
|
Myself and the missus were in La Croissanter on merchants quay a while back. We were standing there looking at the menu trying to decide while the person serving asked the women in front of us what she wanted. "I'll have a ham and cheese PUNANI"
Call it a hunch but I think she may have meant a 'Panini' |

Two guys chatting about one of their cars.
"Tis' lovely."
"Tis', isn't it.."
"Tis very big for the size of it.."
"Ah sure, there aren't any small cars any more."
One lad then got into the car they were talking about and drove off.
It was a Toyota Yaris. |
