Ya goora larf - 'aven't you ?

A liverpool Catholic Schoolteacher, Peter Moloney, made his name in the sixties by listening to what his kids did, and then write them up

He describes how he was sitting outside the confessional in his church aiting to confess his sins, when he hears the priest roar out in the box: "What kind of a little girl are you?"
Came the reply: "I'm a little boy, father"

Two of his pupils were walking down the road near a local Priory when they see an elderly monk, dressed in black robes, bent double and hobbling along the road with some difficulty
One asks "Ay father, was you in the Ark"
"No of course I wasn't yo stupid boy" he snapped
"The why weren't you drowned" came the reply

I must have told this before but it's such a depressing day here in 'closed for business' Ireland....
A handsome young boy is the sole survivor of a shipwreck on an idyllic desert island
There is plenty of food and water to survive and the lad grown into early manhood without ever meeting a fellow human being
Desperate to fill in the empty hours, he begins to be aware of his developing manhood and decides to do tricks with it
He sits on the pebble shore and begins to fist push pebbles along with it and later, to flick them into the sea
He develops his 'trick' to throw them further and further into the sea until h manages extremely impressive distances

One day he is sitting on the beach occupying himself, as usual, when a beautiful young woman, slightly his senior, swims ashore, the survivor of another shipwreck
"What are you doing?" she asks - he explains
"I'm sure we can find something far more enjoyable to do with that" she says
She sits beside him, puts an arm around his shoulder and begins to fondle him till he becomes very aroused - a totally new experience for him
Under her instructions, they begin to make love until, at last they both lay gasping on the beach
"What do you think of that?" she asks
"It was wonderful" he replies, "but I suppose you know you've ruined my flicker?

A family of tortoises decided to go on a picnic
They packed their hamper and set off - it took a week to reach their chosen picnic ground
Mother tortoise started to unpack the hamper and, nearly finished, she suddenly said, "We've forgotten to pack the tin-opener"
Panic all round because most of the food was tinned
They debated the problem and argued who should go back for the tin-opener
They finally decided to toss a coin Tommy, the youngest lad (aged 40) lost
He argued at first but finally agreed to go, sayig , "Don't start without me"
They patiently waited - one week, two weeks, three weeks.... no sign of Tommy
Finally she said, "I don't know about you, I'm starving, lets have some bread and cheese
She made some sandwiches and they were just about to tuck in when Tommy popped his head up over the top of the rise and said, "I told you not to start without me - I'm not going"

Oh dear !!
Local story told around here about the annual matchmaking festival in Lisdoonvarna
An elderly bachelor farmer farming one of the rough pieces of land on the Burren used to drive into Lisdoon on his donkey and cart whenever he ran out of provisions - he'd usually buy what he neded, load up the flatback cart and have a few pints, before driving home
One day, forgetting the Matchmaking Festival was on, he hitched up the cart and drove in, a little confused at firt at all the strangers
When he remembered, he stocked up and loaded the cart, had his usual pints and set off home
As he drove through town he saw a young woman standing at the side of the road hoping to be 'taken on, so he stopped, made a deal with her, sat her on the top of the provisions and drove out of town
A mile out of town, as he turned off the main road onto the rough 'green track' up the steep hill leading home the wind began to get up, it clouded over and it began to spatter with rain
The cart was rather heavily loaded and, what with the extra weight of the woman, the donkey began to struggle - after a few hundred yards, it stumbled
"That's one" said the farmer, and drove on
A short distance later the same thing happened and the poor animal stumbled again
"That's two" said the farmer again
Puzzled, the young woman said nothing
A mile further the donkey stumbled for the third time
The farmer reached for an ash-plant on the pleasure board beside him, got down, walked to the front and struck the beast a mighty blow between the eyes, killing it stone dead
In horror, the girl jumps down
"What did you do that for" she screams, the poor beat was overloaded and couldn't help slipping, besides, it's getting dark and bucketing with rain and we're still nowhere near any signs of life......"
"That's one" says the farmer.

A passenger in a taxicab on the way to the airport gently tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question. To the passenger's surprise, the driver let out a horrendous scream and nearly lost control of the cab, nearly striking a pedestrian and stopping just inches from a store's plate glass window.

"Oh my!" said the passenger, "I didn't mean to frighten you. I only wanted to ask a question. I'm sorry."

"No, no." replied the driver, "It was my fault. It was just a bit unexpected. This is my first day driving a taxicab. For the last twenty-five years, I've been driving a hearse."

That's what we need in these worrying times - two fingers to our problems BDE

Just heard on the radio that they're burying the victims of the pandemic in Dublin - without coughin'

Keeping the home fires burning
A teacher announced to her Social Science class that she would be concentrating on things medical next time so they should bring in something appropriate to discuss
When the day arrived and she asked for examples a little girl handed in a packet of plasters
"Very good Mary" - and they discussed their uses
Next came another girl, who offered up a bottle of Iodine - the same again
She was about to move on when the tearaway of the class, late as usual, bust through the classroom door wheeling an Iron Lung.
Astounded, the teacher said, "That's amazing Tommy - where did you get it?"
It's my father's" came the reply
"Didn't he mind your borrowing it - what did he say when you took it ?"
"Arghhhhhhhhhh !" he said

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"

As fewer people could be seen The King proclaimed "All is well" despite his army and doctors already dead from th plague. Finally the King died from the Plague and already aflame with the fires of Hell and stood before St Peter.

Hands, not touching hands
Reaching out, not touching me, not touching you

Sweet Quarantine
Good times never seemed so bad
I've been inclined
To believe we never could
But now I
Look at the night and it don't seem so lonely
We filled it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt without holding you
One, not touching one
Reaching out, not touching me, not touching you…

You have come to show you go on
Here, there, wherever you are
I believe that the virus goes on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my nose
And my cough will go on and on
Covid can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go 'til we're gone

Once more…you open the door...

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

I was told this by a Liverpool docker we recorded who fought in the trenches in WW1
He was worried I would take it as being racist - it wasn't, of course, neither was he
A West Indian living in Liverpool was told by the doctor he was dying and was asked would he like to donate his body parts - he said he would, but only if they would tell him who was getting his heart
Reluctantly, the doctor agreed and gave him the name and address of the recipient, somewhere in Toxteth, on the east side
He went along to the address and knocked at the door; out came a huge, beer-bellied thug, body, piercing, skinhead haircut, Union Jack tee-shirt, the lot
"What the ***** do you want ?" he was asked.
"To tell you the truth, I've found out I'm dying and have donated my body to medical science - you're going to get my heart"
"Thank **** for that" came the reply, "I thought you were coming to live next door"

Queen Victoria at Chatham again
She prided herself on her stoicism and was determined not to comment on the horrors she was shown, no matter how bad
As her visit proceeded she suspected she was being sheltered from some of the worst, so she demanded to see them all
Reluctantly her hosts conducted her to a locked room at the back of the hospital where they treated some of the very worst cases - missing limbs, some limbless, blindness, maiming beyond belief.... everything imaginable
She never commented
She noticed a curtained-off section at the very back and demanded to be shown what it contained - they attempted to argue, but she demanded her royal right
In the room was a single bed that, at first appeared to be empty - when they drew back the covers there was a single ear on the pillow
She gasped and drew back in horror- "that's awful", she said
"I know Your Majesty", said the doctor, "and it's deaf"

A Clare farmer was working in the fields when he caught his leg on a piece of rusty barbed wire
He did nothing about in until, after a few weeks, it began to redden, get sore and swell
It became so bad he was forced finally to go to Ennis hospital where he was told it had become gangrenous and would have to be removed
A neighbour came to see him the day after the operation and asked, "How did it go Tommy?"
"Bad and good" he replied, "they cut the wrong leg off"

The man goes to see him and the colleague explains, "I'm pretty sure it works but the operation is pretty painful; I have to take a hair from your nose and insert it as far up your penis as I can manage"

Not noticing how narrow they were getting, he eventually found himself inable to go back and had to proceed forwward untileventually he reached a stream which crossed the road as a ford
Worried at the possible depth, he degts out of the acr and spaeks to an elderly farmer leaning on his gate
On asking him how deep it was he was told, somewhat laconically, "You'll be all right sir"
He climbs back in and proceeds - the river rises over the tyre level and eventually begins to flood into the car
Furious, he gets out, wades ashore, and storms back to the farmer

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)

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.

A woman getting on in years was delivered of her tenth child
The doctor took her aside and told her that, at her age, maybe it was time she stopped having children
"I kniow doctor" she said, "it's all because of my being hard of hearing"
"How do you mean" asks the doctor ?
"Well", she says, "Each night we go to be bed he asks, ""Shall we go to sleep or what ?"" - I always say ""What?""
