Windows |
|
| A couple of years ago my mother rang the phone company to get the internet set up. They asked her what type of Windows she had. Thinking they were asking to install wires she said "PVC oak", really proud of her expensive windows. The poor guy on the phone must have wet himself. When I came home and she told me the story and I had to explain what Windows he was actually referring to. |

Not the Right Moment... |
|
In history class about 6-7years ago. We were gettin the results of a history test from the week before. Two of the girls were asked to stand as their papers were the exact same.... after about 10 minutes they admitted to cheating and were told to sit back down. The teacher then told us that all he wanted was for them to admit it and it would be forgotten.... "I mean, in my day lads, you'd get leathered for cheating!!!" he kinda yelled, not happy with the cheating.
Everthing was really tense and quiet, when from the back of the class one of the lads asks.... "were you ever spanked sir???" |

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". |

Is it a bird? Is it a plane?... |
|
| Sitting out in the back garden with my Mam during the good weather we were looking up at all the planes heading off in different directions. One plane (obviously flying at a lower altitude than the others) seemed to be going by faster than the others in the sky. Serious as anything, blocking the sun from her eyes with her hand, my Mam turns to myself and my Dad and says.... "Jesus will you look at that one, its flying" |
