St. Paddy's Day humor ( an oldie but goodie)



Two men were sitting next to each other at a bar. After a while, one guy looks at the other and says, "I can't help but think, from listening to you, that you're from Ireland "

The other guy responds proudly, "Yes, that I am!"

The first guy says, "So am I!

And where about from Ireland might you be?"

The other guy answers, "I'm from Dublin , I am."

The first guy responds, "Sure and begora, and so am I! And what street did you live on in Dublin?"

The other guy says,

"A lovely little area it was, I lived on McCleary Street in the old central part of town"

The first guy says, "Faith & it's a small world, so did I! So did I! And may I ask, to what school would you have been going?"

The other guy answers, "Well now, I went to St. Mary's of course."

The first guy gets really excited and says, "And so did I. I thought you looked familiar.
Tell me, what year did you graduate?"

The other guy answers, "Well, now, let's see, I graduated in 1964."

The first guy exclaims, "The Good Lord must be smiling down upon us! I can hardly believe our good luck at winding up in the same bar tonight. Can you believe it, I graduated from
St. Mary's in 1964 me ownself."

About this time, Vicky walks into the bar, sits down, and orders a beer.

Brian, the bartender, walks over to Vicky, shaking his head & mutters,
"It's going to be a l o n g night tonight!!!!"

Vicky asks, "Why do you say that, Brian?"

"The Murphy twins are drunk again."

4. P45.net is a good source for Irish humour...

From one of their E-jit's Guides: "Advice for tourists" (American Tourists, that is.)

Now it's time to hit the street, but remember that until midday in Ireland nobody actually says hello - the only greeting permissable is "top o' the morning to ya". The louder this is said the better, and preferably with a thick highly plausible Irish accent such as Tom Cruise's in "Far And Away". Don't be offended should you hear anybody call you a "Bloody Yank", it's a friendly term (just call them "Damn Brits" in return - they love that). The thing the Irish love the most about tourists from the States is their farewell of "Have a nice day", so make sure to say this to everybody you encounter at least twice. For added joy, add "ya'll" to either the beginning or end of every sentence.

On the streets of the city, speak loudly of your Irish heritage. The natives will recognise and appreciate that you are on a sort of Homecoming.

As a gesture to the citizens of Ireland, continuously praise the following great heroes who were instrumental in forging the Irish identity: Cromwell, William of Orange, Queen Mary, etc. Also say what a great man ye think that Ian Paisley is. He's a popular politician in these parts.

6. Oh Bridget! These are just hilarious.
:rofl:

"Ireland's leading playwright is Samuel Beckett, but a lot of his works were hit-or-miss. You can impress many fellow theatre-goers in one fell swoop by saying (in an expert voice): "Yes, but his last tape was Krapp!"
