Far too much information! |
|
I was in a Subway restaurant with a few friends when one of my friends and his girlfriend had this exchange…
Girl: "I am really full. I can’t finish this."
Guy: "But you only ate half of it, like."
Girl: "Yeah, but I usually only get six inches."
My friend and I: "Bwahahahah!"

The future is green? |
|
I was in Caffs café and two young fellas talking loudly at the table next to me. They were talkin about where they would build a factory and why.
Boy 1: "So where would u build a factory?"
Boy 2: "Next to a river?"
Boy 1: "What? Why?"
Boy 2: "Because then there would be somewhere to dump any toxic waste." |

Geography for the insane |
|
I work in a creche and, being the only guy there, I'm outnumbered.
So we were chatting away the other day about holidays and I was talking about Malta and how its a good place to go and out of nowhere one of the girls, with a straight face on her, goes "Malta, isn't that the capital of Spain?" I just had to get up and walk away. |

And the train lands... |
|
I was on the train from Dublin to Cork, sitting next to, and opposite, a family of six, all of whom had extremely strong Cork accents and looked... a bit rough, to put it gently!
The mother's phone rang, about half an hour after getting on the train, and she informed the person on the receiving end...
"We're on the train now... We'll be LANDED in Cork at around four"
I had to try very hard not to laugh, for fear of getting a beating! |

Cork wit. Where would ye get it |
|
| While playing a darts match one night up in a pub referred to as 'the flying bottle pub' in the heart of Knocka I went into the jacks and started making small conversation with a local. I says to him "patrick street was very crowded earlier" referring to the hurlers parading the McCarthy Cup after beating Kilkenny in the all Ireland. "Were ye in there?" I asked him. To which he replied "patrick street at night time. Nah boy sure you'd get f**king stabed to death in there at night". |

True Salesman |
|
| While discussing what shop my Mum, my sister and I were going to next, we passed a stall advertising a new Sky box. My sister Aisling stopped saying "should we go to Penneys?" (because she saw her favourite movie was playing on the TV) and said "Maybe I should just stay here and watch Pirates of the Carribean instead...." Quick as a flash, the sales rep. replies "if you buy it, you can watch it anytime you want!" I bet he sold plenty of Sky boxes that day..... |
