A dog's life |
|
Outside my local having a smoke,shortly after the ban came in. This well known Tipp man walks in with a dog on his shoulder who had previously attempted to chew the barman's leg.
Barman:"That feckin dog is barred from here!"
Tiobradan:" That dog never smoked a fag in his life!!!"
We had to pick some of the ould fellas off the floor they were laughing so much. |

Confused??? |
|
While working with a colleague in Cork a number of years ago, he told me about a bit of contract work he did out in the Middle East a number of years previously.
He was describing a dinner to which he was invited by a local prince:
"We arrived out to these big tents in the middle of the desert, sat down, yer man claps his hands, then all these birds come in dancin' round the place. He claps his hands again, then a load a' grub arrives out. Another clap of the hands, and the dancin' birds are at it again."
"Jaysus", says he, "it was like a scene from Lawrence of Olivier!" |

Muslim? |
|
I was sitting in Abracababra's one night when a couple girls came in off the street. One pointed to my yarmulke and asked me, "Are you Muslim?"
I was a bit confused, but replied, "No. Jewish"
The other said, "Oh. You have nice eyes," and they walked out. |

Brains versus Beauty |
|
I was waiting for a friend outside the library in college. Along walked a slightly unattractive bottle-blond student in her early 20's with a female friend of hers and she said "I was saying to Mark that I think I'll fail some exams and he said it doesn't matter if I fail them because I'm beautiful."
Does the poor girl stand a chance in life? |
