Who are you?

Two brothers in Mallow had nicknames Beaney and Boney. One night they were stopped by a smart guard, he asked boney which one are you beaney or barney (as in the batchelors ad) he answered "I'm boney" and he got a clatter for telling the truth

My Phone

While a friend and I were walking through Patrick St. we came across a woman who was talking on her mobile phone.
The person she was talking to must have asked her about the number she was calling from as all we heard her say was "yea, my phone got robbed so I robbed another one" !!!!

The Gardai and 'da lads'

A couple of lads in a quiet car park going for a smoke(drugs) they were there for a while when a Garda patrol car pulled in...
Knowing that they were caught they panicked
Highlight of the conversation was...........
Garda(knowing he was on to something good says proudly): "hello lads we are the Garda Siochana"
(silent pause)
Driver(quite stoned): "hello garda.. we are da lads"

The burglary

My husband came home from work years ago with this story. There had been a burlary in the northside of the city and it had been reported that the burglar had chopped of a womans fingers to get her expensive rings off her. A guy in work was telling the story and everyone was disgusted and appalled at the barbaric way the poor woman was treated for the sake of a few rings. Suddenly a guy sitting nearby piped up "It's a good thing she wasn't wearing a fu**ing necklace" !!!!!! Typical Cork humour.
