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" |

During a local soccer match many moons ago, there was this new kid on the block, nicknamed "Chilli". He was getting his first run out for his new team, unknown to the auld fellas on the sideline.
Auld Fella No.1: "Whose this new fella Chilli we have on the wing?"
Auld fella No.2: "He's Con Kearney's young fella!"
U'll travel many miles to beat the Cork wit boyyyyyyyy !! |

Chinese Council |
|
| Two summers back I was sitting outside my house up de northside, it was one of those days when the sun was splitting the stones, every young one was half naked and ice-cream vans were doing they're rounds. As i was soaking up the sun I noticed my neighbour had appeared at his front door in just a pair of shorts. At this moment a Chinese council worker(would you believe it)walks up his drive and says to my neighbour "where ya bin" To my bewilderment the conversation that followed had me laughing for weeks "where u bin" says the Chinese fella "I was in Spain for two weeks" My neighbour replied obviously very proud of his tan! "No where u bin" The council worker asked again with a confused look on his face. "I swear I was in Santaponsa for two weeks bhoy!" "No where u wreally bin" Getting angry at this stage as you can well imagine" "Alright so you bastard I was down in Ballyhiege for the summer" After I finally stopped laughing I had to explain to my neighbour the poor Chinese man was looking for his wheelie bin haha! |

Before Penalty Points |
|
| A few years back a friend of mine, Dave, was caught speeding on Horgans Quay. He rolled down the window, the cop leaned against it and said, "I suppose you know why I'm stopping you?" To which Dave replied, "You wouldn't be looking for directions by any chance?!" |

Who says Corkonians are pretentious? |
|
A woman says to the waitress in a cafe in Oliver Plunkett St. "Is your coffee fresh?"
"Oh, yes" replies the girl.
"Oh - I'll have tea, so!" |

| Munster final in Pairc ui Chaoimh a few years ago in the terrace at half time I turned to a guy beside me who was from Cork and I said to him "god this place is packed ain't it" to which he replied in his really strong Cork accent "Packed! Packed you say! There ain't room here boy to turn a fecken sweet in ur mouth!" |
