Yank for Cob------------------------H |
|
One day while minding me owm business at the train station in cork, this yank woman asks me which platform did she need for the train to Cobh.
Only error she made was she pronounced Cobh, Cob-h COB (As in Corn) then H (as in Hatchet)
I did not laugh and respectively told her the correct pronunciation |

Theoretically he's right |

In UCC one day at a very boring Saturday morning lecture. Lecturer taking about Pythagoras theory. At the end when wrapping up she adds
"Pythagoras....where would we be without him!"
Then some guy at the back pipes up "Probably at home!!"
Genius! |

What a crack |
|
| Working for a carpet furniture shop a while back I took a call from a customer who had her rooms measured and was waiting for the fitting. Not having any of the details I asked her what the fitter looked like so I could speak to him when he came into the shop. " to be honest ", she said, " I saw more of his arse than his face" |

Accents |
|
I was at a show in the opera house recently where the cast were speaking in liverpool accents. At the interval a cork lad asks the fellow beside him (in the strongest cork accent I've heard)
"Why are they talking in the quaer accents?!!"
- I was the only one laughing!! |
