Your waters are fine |
|
While home visiting my sister, who was heavily pregnant and ready to give birth any day, we were in a toy store trying to pick something for my nephew who had just turned four,
when my sister turned to me with a look of horror on her face and said my waters have just gone, so we got her home immediately and waited for the ambulance, my nephew had gone upstairs and turned on all the taps when he came down he said "everything is ok mam your waters aren't gone!" |

Burning hand bags |
|
At a funeral recently, and while the church was in silence the priest was burning incense and swinging it around the coffin. Some guy piped up "shouldn't someone tell that guy his hand bag is on fire"
You can imagine the laughter and awkwardness that followed. |

Waruum! |
|
A few years ago i was getting the Bus Eireann from Limerick to Killarney. It was a Quite warm spring evening and there was'nt much ventilation in the bus. I could see other people squirming uncomfortably in their seats with the heat, and adjusting the little fans above them.
Across from me there were two Old Kerry Men with wolly jumpers who didnt speak one word to eachother during the Journey. I was thinking to myself, "these poor souls must be roasting"
While coming in to castle island one of the Kerry men looks at the other
"Waruum!" He said
The other nodded in approval.
We continued into killarney without another word from either party |

Small one |
|
Myself and my friend are walking up Princes Street at 2 or 3 in the morning. A guy and his mates are relieving themselves against a wall and some more of their friends are standing nearby.
"That is disgusting!" shouts my friend (a little worse for wear herself)
The guy turns around and starts waving his equipment at her
"What's wrong gurl?" he shouts "Never seen one of these before???"
My friend stops in her tracks, spins around and shouts back "No I never saw one that f**king small before!"
The guy goes puce and everyone around is in fits of laughter. |

Oooooooooooooops |
|
In a mobile phone shop there is a male and a female assistant and a long queue of customers.
The female sales assistant is standing behind the counter blocking the entrance.
The male assistant, finished dealing with one customer on the shop floor tries to get behind the counter.
He asks the female assistant to move but she doesn't hear him so he raises his voice and says "Mary can I get inside you for a minute please?"
The whole queue erupts laughing!

Old age |
|
My father was telling my uncle one day that his right shoulder was killing him for a number of weeks but that thank god it had got a bit better.
My uncle says.. "That's old age, I gets that aswell"
My father replies.. "my right shoulder is the same age as my f**king left and I've no pain in that...."
I laughed so funny listening to the two of them. |
