Irish Joke Thread in Honour of St Patrick ...

Post your Irish jokes to celebrate St Patrick - that imprisoned Welsh guy
who decided to set up home in the ould sod.

One day an Irishman, who has been stranded on a desert island for over
ten years, sees an unusual speck on the horizon. “It’s certainly not a ship”,
he thinks to himself.
As the speck gets closer and closer, he begins to rule out the possibilities
of a small boat, then even a raft. Suddenly, emerging from the surf comes
a drop dead gorgeous blonde wearing a wet suit and scuba gear.
She approaches the stunned man and says to him, “Tell me how long has
it been since you’ve had a cigarette?”
“Ten years,” replies the Irishman.
With that, she reaches over and unzips a waterproof pocket on her left
sleeve and pulls out a pack of fresh cigarettes. He takes one, lights it,
takes a long drag and says, “Faith and begorah! Is that good!”
“And how long has it been since you’ve had a sip of Whisky?” she asks
him.
Trembling, the castaway replies, “Ten years.”
She reaches over,unzips her right sleeve, pulls out a flask and hands it
to him. He opens the flask, takes a long swig and says,
'Tis absolutely fantastic!"
At this point she starts slowly unzipping the long zipper that runs down
the front of her wet suit, looks at the man and asks, “And how long has it
been since you’ve played around?”
With tears in his eyes, the man falls to his knees and sobs
“Oh, sweet Jesus! Don’t tell me you’ve got golf clubs in there, too !!!”

What’s Irish and stays out all night?

Paddy O’Furniture

This is a story I’ve heard from a relative of mine, and he claims that it’s a true story, but I don’t know.
There was once a big international beer show where all the great beer brands of the world were represented. After a long day out in the exhibition hall, the MD’s of all the major companies decided to go have a few beers in a pub set up close by just for this occation. The guy from Pripp’s (Sweden) went up to the bar and ordered a Pripp’s Blue. “Best damn beer in the world!” he claimed loudly. The manager from Heiniken (Holland) came up to the bar after him and ordered a Heiniken, “Best beer in the world” he said as well. The MD of Budweiser (America) came up a short while after. “Folks, you better learn to drink proper beer” he said to the two others " This is the stuff that rules, bartender, bring me a Budd!"
They all stood their throwing words at each other when the irishman from Guinness quietly came up to the bar. The others fell silent for a while, giving him a chance to participate in this annuall quarrel. The irishman called the bartender and ordered a diet Coke and saw how the chins of the other guys drop. The manager of Budweiser said “Why on earth are you drinking diet Coke in a bar?”
The irishman smiled at him and replied “Sorry mate, I thought it would be rude of me to have a real beer when none of you other guys are having one. Diet Coke seemed to blend in better here.”

OK, gonna try it again. First Internet Explorer froze up, so I switched to Firefox, got this joke all typed in and wanted to open another window to check something, and then FIREFOX froze!! AARGH!

And that’s no joke.


These two Irish nuns were driving back to the convent late at night after spending the day out doing good works. They were on a dark, deserted road only a few miles from the convent when they ran out of gas.

There was a farmhouse a little ways off the road. They knocked on the door. The farmer was surprised to see the nuns, but invited them in. They told him what had happened, and he said, “I do have some gas in a barrel out in the barn, but I don’t have a gas can to carry it in. The only container I have that might work is an old chamberpot.”

The nuns figured nobody would see them anyway, so they took the chamberpot full of gas and went back to the car.

As they were just starting to pour the gas in, who should come down the road but the local Protestant minister. He looked at the two nuns by the car, one holding the flashlight, the other pouring the contents of the chamberpot into the gas tank, and he said,

“I’m not of your religion ladies, but I cannot help but admire your faith.”

Hey, that’s my annual St. Pat’s joke! :moreevil:

Irishman buys a pint of whiskey and places it in his back pocket. Now he has been drinking for sometime and slips and falls. AS he staggers to rise to his feet he feels something wet dripping down his pants.

He states oh God, please let it be blood. :laughing:

Maybe try it this year with the Kerryman hanging from the ceiling: Sean de Laoire.

Deleted.

Why do Irish men wear green?

No idea. No, wait! Is it because of the shamrocks? :slight_smile:

So they match the beer?

Did you hear about the queer Irishman?

























He liked women better than Guinness. Queer bloke indeed!

Why do the Scottsmen march about while they play the Great Highland Bagpipes?

They are trying to get away from that terrible racket.


Why do the Irish pipers sit down when they play the uilleann pipes?

The Irish love to wallow around in their own misery…

INSINUATED LANGUAGE ALERT<<<
(don’t blame me, I’m retelling)

On a golf tour in Ireland, Tiger Woods drives his BMW into a petrol station in a remote part of the Irish countryside.

The pump attendant who obviously knows nothing about golf, greets him in a typical Irish manner completely unaware of who the golf pro is.

“Top of the mornin to yer, sir”, says the attendant. Tiger nods a quick “hello” and bends forward to pick up the nozzle. As he does so, two tees fall out of his shirt pocket onto the ground.

“What are those?” asks the attendant.

“They’re called tees”, replies Tiger.

“Well, what on God’s earth are dey for?” inquires the Irishman.

“They’re for resting my balls on when I’m driving”, says Tiger.

“Fookin Jaysus”, says the Irishman, “BMW thinks of everything.”

The Sunday morning session is on at the pub. A funeral procession passes by outside and the piper stands, takes his hat off and waits for the procession to pass by, then sits down and resumes playing. “Ah, Paddy,” says the fiddler, “that was a respectful thing you did there.” Paddy replies, “Sure, wasn’t I married to her for forty years?”
:smiling_imp: Tony

Welll… Ye all remember me brother Saemus, and his lovely wife Mary? (Who was a Fitzgerald)… well.. it seems Mary’s brother’s gone and taken up with another man to live. Now, I know what you’re thinkin’, but seems to me it’s a match made in heaven - Patrick Fitzgerald and Gerald Fitzpatrick…

Oh Good Lord… look what just cropped up in me email box!

“Irish Shopping”

McQuillan walked into a bar and ordered martini
after martini, each time removing the olives and
placing them in a jar. When the jar was filled
with olives and all the drinks consumed, the
Irishman started to leave.

“S’cuse me”, said a customer, who was puzzled
over what McQuillan had done, “what was that all
about?”

"Nothin’, said the Irishman, “my wife just sent
me out for a jar of olives!”


“You’ve Been Out Drinking Again”

An Irishman had been drinking at a pub all
night. The bartender finally said that the bar is
closing. So the Irishman stood up to leave fell
flat on his face. He tried to stand one more
time; same result. He figured he ll crawl outside and
get some fresh air and maybe that will sober him up.

Once outside, he stood up and fell on his face
again. So he decided to crawl the four blocks home.

When he arrived at the door he stood up and
fell flat on his face. He crawled through the door and
into his bedroom. When he reached his bed
he tried one more time to stand up. This time
he managed to pull himself upright, but he quickly
fell right into the bed and is sound asleep as
soon as his head hit the pillow.

He was awakened the next morning to his wife
standing over him, shouting, “SO YOU’VE BEEN DRINKING
AGAIN!”

Putting on an innocent look, and intent on
bluffing it out he said, “What makes you say that?”

“The pub just called; you left your wheelchair
there again.”


“I’ve Lost Me Luggage”
An Irishman arrived at J.F.K. Airport and
wandered around the terminal with tears streaming down
his cheeks. An airline employee asked him if he
was already homesick.

“No,” replied the Irishman “I’ve lost all me
luggage!”

“How’d that happen?”

“The cork fell out!” said the Irishman.


“Water to Wine”

An Irish priest is driving down to New York and
gets stopped for speeding in Connecticut. The state
trooper smells alcohol on the priest’s breath
and then sees an empty wine bottle on the floor of
the car.

He says, “Sir, have you been drinking?”
“Just water,” says the priest.

The trooper says, “Then why do I smell wine?”

The priest looks at the bottle and says, “Good
Lord! He’s done it again!”


“The Reunion”

A man stumbles up to the only other patron in a
bar and asks if he could buy him a drink.“Why, of
course,” comes the reply.

The first man then asks, “Where are you from?”

“I’m from Ireland,” replies the second man.

The first man responds: “You don’t say, I’m
from Ireland too! Let’s have another round to
Ireland.”

“Of course,” says the second.

Curious, the first asks: “Where in Ireland?”

“Dublin,” comes the reply.

“I can’t believe it, Me too! Lets have another
round of drinks to Dublin.”

“Of course”

The second man can’t help himself so he asks,
“What school did you attend?”

“Saint Mary’s”, replies the first man. “I
graduated in '62.”

“This is becoming unbelievable!!!” They say in
union.

About that time, in comes one of the regulars
and sits down at the bar.
“What’s up?” he asks the bartender.

“Nothing much,” replied the bartender. “The
O’Malley twins are drunk again!”


“The Brothel”

Two Irishmen were sitting at a pub having beer
and watching the brothel across the street.

They saw a Baptist minister walk into the brothel, and
one of them said, “Aye, ‘tis a shame to see a man of
the cloth goin’ bad.”

Then they saw a rabbi enter the brothel, and the other
Irishman said,
“Aye, ‘tis a shame to see that the Jews are fallin’
victim to temptation as well.”

Then they see a catholic priest enter the brothel, and
one of the Irishmen said, "What a terrible pity…one
of the girls must be dying.


“An Irish Fight” :

Into a Belfast pub comes Paddy Murphy, looking like
he’d just been run over by a train. His arm is in a
sling, his nose is broken, his face is
cut and bruised and he’s walking with a limp.

“What happened to you?” asks Sean,the bartender.

“Jamie O’Conner and me had a fight,” says Paddy.

That little sod, O’Conner," says Sean, “He couldn’t do
that to you, he must have had something in his hand.”

“That he did,” says Paddy, “a shovel is what he had,
and a terrible lickin’ he gave me with it.”

“Well,” says Sean, “you should have defended yourself.
Didn’t you have something in your hand?”

“That I did,” said Paddy. “Mrs. O’Conner’s boob, and
a thing of beauty it was, but useless in a fight.”


“Irish Cemetery”:

Three Irishmen, Paddy, Sean and Seamus, were stumbling
home from the pub late one night and found themselves
on the road which led past the old graveyard.. “Come
have a look over here,” says Paddy, “It’s Michael
O’Grady’s grave, God bless his soul. He lived to the
ripe old age of 87.”

“That’s nothing,” says Sean, “here’s one named Patrick
O’Tool, it says here that he was 95 when he died.”!

Just then, Seamus yells out, “Good God, here’s a fella
that got to be 145!”

“What was his name?” asks Paddy.

Seamus stumbles around a bit, awkwardly lights a match
to see what else is written on the stone marker, and
exclaims, “Miles, from Dublin.”


“Irish Miracle”:

An Irishman who had a little too much to drink is
driving home from the city one night and, of course,
his car is weaving violently all over the
road.

A cop pulls him over. “So,” says the cop to the
driver, “where have ya been?”

“Why, I’ve been to the pub of course,” slurs the
drunk.

“Well,” says the cop, “it looks like you’ve had quite
a few to drink this evening.”

“I did all right,” the drunk says with a smile.

“Did you know,” says the cop, standing straight and
folding his arms across his chest, “that a few
intersections back, your wife fell out of your
car?”

“Oh, thank heavens,” sighs the drunk. “For a minute
there, I thought I’d gone deaf.”


Absolutely priceless Annie. Thanks for the hearty guffaw.

Imagine how hell would break loose if a thread similarly stereotyping, black people, american indians, stupic yanks or whatever would run on the board.

Never mind. You fixed the link. Didn’t an Irish person start this thread?
