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.

Cork Tea!!

Shopping one day in a Cork supermarket with my wife. There was an ould fella behind us going through each of the aisles. When it came to getting tea bags, I picked up a box of Lyons tea, my wife said “Don’t you usually get Barry’s?”, I replied, “I’ll try these just for a change”. Ould fella was picking up a box of Barry’s and just whispered to me “Traitor” and walked off laughing!!

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"

Can I go to the toilet?

One Day I was dropping a message from the main office in school to a tech graph teacher, it was only the first week of school and the first years were in their first Tech graph class of the year, just as I walked in this is what went down:

1st year student: "Sir?"
Teacher: "Yess?"
1st year student: "Can I go to the toilet?",
Teacher: "I dunno, can you?"
