Gender roles! |
|
| A heavily pregnant lady and her significant other were shopping in Penney's. She asked him to carry her bag for a few mins while she took his coat. He refused because he didn't want to look less manly. She retorted with, "I have to carry this thing *points at stomach* for 9 months - the least you can do is carry a bag for 2mins!" |

Cork Tea!! |
|
| Shopping one day in a Cork supermarket with my wife. There was an ould fella behind us going through each of the aisles. When it came to getting tea bags, I picked up a box of Lyons tea, my wife said “Don’t you usually get Barry’s?”, I replied, “I’ll try these just for a change”. Ould fella was picking up a box of Barry’s and just whispered to me “Traitor” and walked off laughing!! |

Was shopping in Brown Thomas one year on Xmas Eve and there was a guy there obviously getting his wife/girlfriend a gift. He was at the cosmetics counter purchasing creams and make up and the like, when the lady behind the counter asked "what kinda skin does she have?" (meaning oily, dry or combination skin)
The boyfriend turned around and said "er yano kinda white."
