Subject: RE: BS: Only Joke Thread You'll Need for 2020 From: An Buachaill Caol Dubh Date: 27 Mar 20 - 06:32 PM I haven't heard the song re. "Oul' de Valera" and the (uncharacteristically generous) bounty per child, though I've heard others in a similar vein delivered by those who can do them justice. Many of the jokes I heard of the kind instanced above are really the records, probably improved in the telling, of witty ripostes made ex tempore by various local characters ("Worthies" as they would once have been called in Scotland). One such was "Tramp McG-----", born in the year of 1848 and living till he was "well over the hundred"; he said he was starting the second century a hell of a lot healthier than he started the first. Anyway, he is said to have asked a Nun about the ring on her finger, and got the conventional reply about being married to Christ. "The dear-me-save-us!" said he, as he always does in these short tales, "but ye aimed high for a husband." Good Luck, ABCD. * It's often said that there's not a road in Ireland named after "The Chief" because none could be found that is long enough and crooked enough. Actually there's a Bothar de Valera in Letterkenny. Donegal is different. |

Subject: RE: BS: Only Joke Thread You'll Need for 2020 From: An Buachaill Caol Dubh Date: 27 Mar 20 - 02:35 PM The story about the recently arrived immigrant reminds me of other such tales originating in this shared experience. One involved the Irishman who lost his footing on the wet cobbles of the street in Liverpool, slipped, and sat down heavily and no doubt painfully, but amusingly to two local Polis. The Sergeant said, "ah, Paddy, you'll find the streets of Britain are tricky of themselves", to which our hero responded, "Tricky and all as they are, I made them kiss my arce". That's not a "typo", but an authentic spelling from a local (an aunt spelled it thus in a letter. To my mother). |
Subject: RE: BS: Only Joke Thread You'll Need for 2020 From: An Buachaill Caol Dubh Date: 27 Mar 20 - 02:25 PM Don't know what happened there! Anyway, re. the "good bottom" to the river, the source for that is Donegal (told to me in late 1970s, maybe early 1980s, but going back to the Thirties). Same source, more or less the same time: At a time, there was this scheme to charge a licence fee for dogs. I see it's come back again, since the Irish Government is among the finest examples of the dictum that the one thing every government learns from its predecessor is the art of extracting money from the population. But, to our tale. Some kind of an official, a warden or inspector or member of the Council was, in pursuit of dogs, a man goin' round takin' names. Farmers were, as usual, particularly targeted. The Dog-Man came to the same JD, and, on asking him did he know of any dogs in the area, was immediately informed that he knew of at least half-a-dozen. Eagerly, the official asked, officially, where these doggies were. JD didn't even need to speak, just indicated the river.... |

Subject: RE: BS: Only Joke Thread You'll Need for 2020 From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 26 Mar 20 - 11:04 PM A Russian woman married a Canadian gentleman and they lived happily ever after in Toronto. The poor lady was not very proficient in English, but did manage to communicate with her husband. The real problem arose whenever she had to shop for groceries. One day, she went to the butcher and wanted to buy chicken legs. She didn't know how to put forward her request, so, in desperation, she clucked like a chicken and lifted up her skirt to show her thighs. Her butcher got the message and gave her the chicken legs. Next day she needed to get chicken breasts, again she didn't know how to say it, so she clucked like a chicken and unbuttoned her blouse to show the butcher her breasts. The butcher understood again and gave her some chicken breasts. On the third day, the poor lady needed to buy sausages. Unable to find a way to communicate this, she brought her husband to the store, where he... ...ordered a dozen sausages in perfectly intelligible English. |
Subject: RE: BS: Only Joke Thread You'll Need for 2020 From: An Buachaill Caol Dubh Date: 26 Mar 20 - 04:55 PM It seems that tourists are particularly liable to ask the wrong question of the wrong peasants. Coming to a ford similar to that mentioned above, one visitor to the area asked a nearby local, one J---- D----, whether there were "a good bottom to it" (and therefore safe to cross). He was assured that there was indeed a good bottom. Emerging, predictably and spluttering from the water, which was much deeper than expected, he roared at the local, "you said it had a good bottom to it!" In response, he was calmly told, "there is a good bottom to it, ye're just not at it yet". (c. 1930) |

I don't want to ruin her reputation." "Well, Joey, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?" "I cannot say." "Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?" "I'll never tell." "Was it Nina Capelli?" "I'm sorry, but I cannot name her." "Was it Cathy Piriano?" "My lips are sealed." "Was it Rosa DiAngelo, then?" "Please, Father! I cannot tell you!” The priest sighs in frustration. “You're very tight lipped, and I admire that. But you've sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for four months. Now you go and behave yourself." Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Franco slides over and whispers, "What'd you get?" "Four months vacation and five good leads ..." |

Subject: RE: BS: Only Joke Thread You'll Need for 2020 From: Jim Carroll Date: 24 Mar 20 - 10:32 AM A couple of 'Lime Street' jokes - probably told them before, but I need cheering up AS friends of 'Maggie May' will know, Lime Street was once the notorious Liverpool 'Red Light' district, particularly in wartime and when Liverpool was a major seaport Two friends ran a fish and chip shop on Lime Street but when WW2 came, what with the difficulty of fishing because of the UBoats and the rationing of potatoes, it became nearly impossible to get supplies and custom dropped to a standstill One day one of them said to his mate, "Let's pack in the shop and open a brothel" "Don't be daft", said his mate, "If we can't sell fish and chips how are we going to sell soup ?" A mouse was crossing the tramlines on Lime Street one night - as he reached the centre the tram's front wheels ran over his tail and cut it clean off As he turned to see if he could find it, the back wheels cut his head off The moral of the story - Don't lose your head when you're looking for your tail in Lime Street Jim |

Subject: RE: BS: Only Joke Thread You'll Need for 2020 From: Jim Carroll Date: 20 Mar 20 - 04:53 AM Another Buren Story (probably told this too) A couple, getting on in years, farmed a rough piece of land on The Burren The nearest farm was a mile and there were a few others scattered around the area, but it was a pretty lonely life She would occasionally ride around on her bike to some of the neighnouring farms and swap bits and pieces of produce she'd grown in her vegetable garden, but apart from that, their only contact with the outside world was a visit to Lisdoonvarna on the donkey and cart for provisions One day she announced she was going to ride down to Lisdoon to get her hair done - a thing he'd never remembered her doing He thought to himself that it must be an anniversary or something he'd forgotten, in which case there might be a treat for him that night when they went to bed When she rode off, he set about cleaning the house from top to bottom, something he'd never done in his life He dusted, he swept the floor, polished the delph, washed down all the surfaces - he even took down the curtains and shook them in the yard He cleaned the bedroom, put on fresh bed linen, and carefully placed candles around the room to create a romantic atmosphere As he was just finished, he happened to look under the bed and spotted a large wooden box, which he dragged our and opened it Inside it was crammed with money, coins and notes, carefully placed on top were three chickens eggs He shoved the box back and waited for his wife to return, When she eventually did, she was stunned to see what he had done He said, "I thought it must be a spacial day, you getting you hair done, so I thought we'd do something different" The thanked him and said she'd cook something nice instead of the usual bacon and cabbage "But what's that box under the bed?", he asked "She collapsed in a chair, looking very embarrassed, though a moment and finally said, "To tell you the truth John, I have to confess I've been unfaithful to you" "How do you mean?" he asked She said, "Well, when I visited neigbours sometimes and found the wife out, me and the husband... well, you know" "And the eggs....?", he said "Well, each time I did it I was so ashamed I took a new laid egg from under the chickens and placed it in the box to remind me not to do it again" He was shattered; he stood there silent for a minute and finally said, "Well, we've been together forty years and you haven't had much of a life with me, what with the farm and everything - so I suppose three times in all those years is understandable, so I forgive you - but what about the money? "Well, each time I got enough eggs I rode around and sold them to the neighbours and put the money in the box for a rainy day" Jim |
