Subject: St. Patrick's Week Jokes From: UB Ed Date: 13 Mar 01 - 12:11 PM Click for the 'PermaThread™: List of all joke threads'The CIA loses track of one of its operatives, and so calls in one of their top spy hunters. The CIA boss says, "All I can tell you is that his name is Murphy and that he's somewhere in Ireland. If you think you've located him, tell him the code words, 'The weather forecast calls for mist in the morning.' If it's really him, he'll answer, 'Yes, and for mist at noon as well.'" So the spy hunter goes to Ireland and stops in a bar in one of the small towns. He says to the bartender, "Maybe you can help me. I'm looking for a guy named Murphy." The bartender replies, "You're going to have to be more specific because, around here, there are lots of guys named Murphy. There's Murphy the Baker, who runs the pastry shop on the next block. There's Murphy the Banker, who's president of our local savings bank. There's Murphy the Blacksmith, who works at the stables. And, as a matter of fact, my name is Murphy, too." Hearing this, the spy hunter figures he might as well try the code words on the bartender, so he says, "The weather forecast calls for mist in the morning." The bartender replies, "Oh, you're looking for Murphy the Spy. He lives right down the street." Next?

Subject: RE: St. Patrick's Week Jokes From: GUEST Date: 13 Mar 01 - 01:24 PM The year after St. Patrick left Ireland his converts decided to have a big get together. One had been killed in a fracas with druids, and a 2nd was being taught by them how to get back to a sane religion. The one that made it got the whole barrel of Usquebah to himself, so died of heavenly delirium tremens, and has been worshiped ever since.

Subject: RE: St. Patrick's Week Jokes From: Fiolar Date: 13 Mar 01 - 02:13 PM Apparently the reason St Patrick never got to Kerry was because the people of Cork stole his donkey. Mind you being a Corkman, I never believed that old yarn unlike the Irish policeman who went to Heaven and was met by St Peter at the pearly gates. Says the saint " I cannot let you in to this place unless you can indentify Adam and Eve from that crowd of souls yonder." The policeman had no problem. He just looked around until he saw a pair with no navels.Happy St Pat's Day. |

He walked over to the irish man and tapped him on the shoulder. 'Hey, I hear your St. Patrick was a sissy.' 'Oh really, hmm, didn't know that.' Puzzled, the English man walked back to his buddies. 'I told him St. Patrick was a sissy and he didn't care!' 'You just don't know how to set him off, watch and learn.' The second English man walked over and tapped the Irish man on the shoulder. 'I hear your St. Patrick was a transvestite!' 'Oh, wow, I didn't know that, thank you.' Shocked beyond belief, the English man went back to his buddies. 'You're right, he is unshakable!' The third English man said: 'No, no, no, I will really piss him off, you just watch.' The English man walked over to the Irish man, tapped him on the shoulder and said...'I hear your St. Patrick was an English man!' 'Yeah, thats what your buddies were trying to tell me.' |

Subject: RE: St. Patrick's Week Jokes From: aussiebloke Date: 14 Mar 01 - 12:10 PM God is well pleased with the job that He has done creating Ireland. He is bragging to anyone that will listen about how fertile the land and the sea are, abundant with game and fishes. He is thrilled with the new people He has created - gracious, beautiful and intelligent, with a love for laughter and music and poetry, and a sense of community that He has never been able to get quite right before. He goes on and on... Eventually, someone tires of his bragging and asks Him: 'Don't you think that you've overdone it a little?'

Subject: RE: St. Patrick's Week Jokes From: Murray MacLeod Date: 14 Mar 01 - 05:14 PM I really like the fact that threads like this, and the other recent one on the Scots, can thrive without anyone getting their knickers in a twist. Other ethic groups, take note. I will be using a couple of these jokes on Saturday, to be sure. Meanwhile, this is my all-time favorite. Into a bar one Friday night walks a stranger and says to the bartender in an Irish accent "Three pints of Guinness please". The bartender pours, the stranger takes the three pints to a table, sits down and takes a sip from each pint in turn until the three pints are finished, says good-bye and leaves. The following Friday the scenario is replicated, and the Friday after that, until the bartender, unable to restrain his curiosity, says "Excuse me for asking, but why do you buy three pints of Guinness every week, drink each of them in turn and then leave?" "Ah well", says the Irishman, "I have two brothers who have emigrated, one to America and one to Australia. Before they left, we all made a promise to each other that we would each observe this little ceremony each Friday night wherever we were, to remember the days when we all met for a pint each Friday when we were together" Needless to say, there was scarcely a dry eye in the bar by the time he had recounted this tale, and for years, the same scenario was enacted each Friday night. Then one Friday night, he walks in and says to the bartender "Two pints of Guinness please". He takes the pints to his usual table and takes a sip out of each in turn until they are finished, The bar is in deathly silence, the regulars are looking at one another, eventually the bartender goes over to the Irishman and says "Is there a family tragedy you want to tell us about ?" The Irisman looks puzzled and says "What do do mean?". "Well, says the bartender, "For years you have ordered three pints, tonight you ordered only two." "Oh no, " laughs the Irishman, " I've decided it was time I stopped drinking" Happy St Patrick's Day Murray |

"You have desecrated the sacred grounds of our ancestors", said the chief, "You will each receive 500 lashes. But because I am a merciful man, each of you can have anything you wish on your back beforehand." The Englishman said that he wanted two litres of the best palmoil. (he was pro European Union). The Scotsman said that he wanted two bottles of Scotch Whisky on his. The German declared that he wanted nothing on his and that he would take his punishment like a man. Fianlly it was the Irishman's turn and when asked what he wanted on his back, he said, "The German." |

The mortician turned the body over, Sean looked "No that's not Paddy". The mortician asked how they were both sure it wasn't Paddy.

Subject: RE: St. Patrick's Week Jokes From: late 'n short 2 Date: 15 Mar 01 - 10:43 AM Tim and Donal took their boat out to do some fishing when they get caught in a terrible storm and are dragged out to sea. All of their equipment, oars, etc. are lost in the storm and the two of them are left drifting aimlessly with no sign of rescue in sight. While they are floating along bemoaning their fate, Tim spots a bottle in the water alongside the boat. He pulls it out and as he rubs the side of it to read the label a big puff of smoke appears and, when it clears, there stands a leprechaun. "And who are you?" says Donal. "I'm a leprechaun" says the leprechaun. "Leprechaun, me arse!" says Donal, ever the skeptic. "Prove it!" "Very well" says the little fellow, "I normally have the power to grant three wishes but for you and your attitude I'll only make it one." "Sure, sure" Donal says scornfully, "See all this water around us? Turn it into beer." With that, there's a thunderous roar a flash of lightning and when the calm returns the leprechaun is nowhere to be seen. But by the look of the water around them, he has certainly fulfilled the wish. The astonished Tim, who until now had been only an observer, scoops up a handful of the liquid and confirms its content. They are surrounded by miles and miles of the most delicious brew ever concocted. With that Tim turns to Donal in disbelief. "You ijit," he screams. " Now we'll have to piss in the boat!" Dan |
Subject: RE: St. Patrick's Week Jokes From: UB Ed Date: 15 Mar 01 - 02:50 PM There's a reason it only comes once a year. St. Patrick's Day: the one day of the year when the 2% of the world's population that's Irish gets the other 98% completely shitfaced. Leg 1: 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. Rise and shine early. Take a long, hot shower, and liberally use aftershave, perfume, cologne, deodorant and powders afterwards, because by 3p.m., you will be excreting raw alcohol and other poisons, and without proper preparations, you will smell like a three-day dead cat wrapped in a fraternity carpet. The bars open at 9, so use this time to prepare. Collect the following supplies and put them in a place where you will easily be able to find it in an impaired condition. We recommend the bathroom floor, between the toilet and the baseboard heater, since that's where you'll probably end up: 1 quart spring water 1 bottle aspirin 5 pairs Depends undergarment 1 bottle Percocet 1 gram morphine sulphate 1 oz. human adrenaline extract 1 precharged electric defibrillator 4 Cardiac needles 1 trauma surgeon Brew a strong pot of coffee. Add 9 oz. Jameson Irish whiskey, drink. Note that coffee should be drunk liberally throughout the day. There is a reason that the Irish invented Irish Coffee; unless you ingest a large volume of artificial stimulants throughout the course of St.Patrick's Day, you are going to die. Arrange to be picked up to be taken to the bar by 8:45 a.m. We cannot stress enough that you should not drink and drive. There is no reason to chance losing your license or killing someone in a drunken state when you have plenty of idiot friends willing to take that risk on your behalf. Leg 2: 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Arrive at the bar right when it opens. Make sure this is an Irish bar if at all possible. An Irish bar in Boston is the best alternative, since Boston in Gaelic means West Kilarney. However, almost every city in America has bars called The Blarney Stone, McSomethings, or The Dirty Mick. Just try to ignore the fact that the bar is probably owned by Koreans. Secure a barstool and do not leave it under any circumstances. The bar is liable to be packed by noon, and real Irish people do not wait in line for drinks, no matter what the consequences. While we do recommend the use of an adult undergarment to mask unpleasant smells, it really doesn't matter. By afternoon, you'll be sopping wet with spilled beer anyway, and your mild urine smell will be completely overpowered by the toxic stench of vomit. We recommend starting out with a few more Irish Coffees to spike the stimulant level, however, you should not order an Irish Coffee," as you will be given a fruity little glass mug topped with whipped cream and a cherry, and some guy named Seamus will call you a yuppie poseur while putting a cigarette out on your neck. Ask for coffee with whiskey and ask the bartender to leave the whipped cream can, as nothing will add spice to your day like the occasional whippet. Leg 3: 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. It's lunchtime! You may not be hungry, but it's important to eat something, because like Sheriff Bart said in Blazing Saddles:" Man drink like that, and don't eat, he is going to die." If you want to maintain your buzz and not get that hideous, bloated feeling that could slow down your drinking, there are only two options: popcorn or Pop Tarts. Both have the carbohydrates you'll need to give you energy, both will soak up excess bile in your stomach, and both have names that are hard to slur. If you start slurring your words too early, you'll hear the most frightening phrase in the English language on St. Patrick's Day besides I'm pregnant: You're cut off". By now, you should switch off of coffee drinks to beer. You have only one option here: Guinness stout. You may be tempted to order green beer, but remember: beer doesn't always turn green because of food coloring. Leg 3: 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. By now, the bar is definitely crowded as people take long lunches and bail out of work early to tie one on. If you're doing your job correctly, the bar should look twice or three times as crowded as it really is. By now, you may be in conversation with some real Irish people, since the person you came with has likely been taken away by ambulance. Some conversational points to remember when talking to the Irish are: Football really means Soccer, and you should be more passionate about it than you are about your wife or husband, AND The English are all piss-arsed, pig-fucking bastards who should be lined up and kicked into the Liffey. If you remember those two points, as well at least three derogatory names for Margaret Thatcher, you can talk to the Irish for hours. You should continue to drink Guinness throughout this leg, although you may want to have another Irish Coffee if your heartbeat has become irregular The Home Stretch: 7 p.m. to Closing Your goal, of course, is to be the last person to leave the bar at closing time. This will be impossible, since a blood alcohol content of .50 usually equals death, and you should be pushing a .35 or .40 by now. The only way for a true Irishman to leave a bar before closing time with honor is to be hauled away by the police. Throw a punch. It doesn't matter who you hit or why; no one's made any sense since 3 o'clock, anyway. You will be beaten mercilessly, since your fine motor control has been gone since the late morning, but it doesn't matter since you can't feel anything. Depending on your community, the police should arrive within fifteen minutes to scrape you off the floor and clap you in irons. The final impression you leave is the most important: as you are being dragged from the bar, begin screaming that you want to take your drink with you. You will be a legend, and by now the friend who took you to the bar should have had his or her stomach pumped, and will be able to bail you out. By following these simple guidelines, your St. Patrick's Day experience would be one you would never forget if it weren't physically and biologically impossible for you to remember any of it. |

Subject: RE: St. Patrick's Week Jokes From: BobP Date: 16 Mar 01 - 01:00 PM Here's a twist on one mentioned already. You know, St. Patrick didn't really drive the snakes out of Ireland.

Business was great till the supply ran out, but by then he was making out okay driving customers back to the docks for the ferry ride home. You know? I suppose you could say maybe he did after all.

We later that night performed it in The Warehouse in Alexandria, Va. and in some boozy bar in Georgetown, standing on the mantel piece. ----------------- chorus: St. Patrick's Day has come along and I don't know no Irish songs My name ain't Paddy, my britches ain't green and "Erin Go Braugh" - what the hell does that mean? "Too ra loo ra loo ra" is just nonsense, that I'm sure a Cockles & mussels are just seafood St. Pat was just some flipped out dude and I ain't never found no 4 leaf clover. "Too ra loo ra loo ra" is just nonsense, that I'm sure a James Joyce just gets my head confused He musta been strung out on booze and I ain't never found no shamrock clover. If you happen to hail from Dublin Town there's a chance my song has got ya down I LOVE the Irish, I love the Poles I even love a few assholes but I ain't never found no 4 leaf clover. ----------------- Does anyone know Filthy Fred (Davis)?

Mr. Hussein," a heavily accented voice said. "This is Paddy down in County Cavan, Ireland. I am ringing to inform you that we are officially declaring war on you." "Well, Paddy," Saddam replied, "This is indeed important news. Tell me, how big is your army?" "At this moment in time," said Paddy after a moment's calculation, "there is myself, my cousin Sean, my next door neighbor Gerry, and the entire dominoes team from the pub -- that makes eight." Saddam sighed. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have one million men in my army waiting to move on my command." "Begorra!" said Paddy, "I'll have to ring you back." Sure enough, the next day Paddy rang back. "Right Mr. Hussein, the war is still on. We have managed to acquire some equipment." "And what equipment would that be, Paddy?" Saddam asked. "Well, we have two combine harvesters, a bulldozer and Murphy's tractor from the farm." Once more Saddam sighed. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 16,000 tanks, 14,000 armored personnel carriers, and my army has increased to one and a half million since we last spoke." "Really?" said Paddy. "I'll have to ring you back." Paddy rang again the next day. "Right, Mr. Hussein, the war is still on. We have managed to get ourselves airborne. We've modified Ted's ultra-light with a couple of rifles in the cockpit, and the bridge team has joined us as well." Saddam was silent for a minute, then sighed. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 10,000 bombers, 20,000 MiG-19 attack planes, my military complex is surrounded by laser-guided surface-to-air missile sites, and since we last spoke, my army has increased to two million men." "Faith and begorra!" said Paddy. "I'll have to ring you back." Sure enough, Paddy called again the next day. "Right, Mr. Hussein, I am sorry to tell you that we have had to call off the war." "I'm sorry to hear that," said Saddam. "Why the sudden change of heart?" "Well," said Paddy, "we've all had a chat, and there's no way we can feed two million prisoners." Regards John |

Subject: RE: St. Patrick's Week Jokes From: dwditty Date: 16 Mar 01 - 03:40 PM I heard this on a Townes Van Zandt album. Gallagher is out for a walk when he spots a leprechaun. He lunges and catches the wee one by the foot and holds on. The leprechaun, furious, yells, "Let me go." Gallagher says, "OK, but what about my three wishes." The leprechaun agrees but tells him to hurry up. Gallagher's first wish is for a pint of Guiness that never empties. Poof. A pint appears. Gallagher takes a big gulp, examines the pint, and it's still full. In disbelief, he downs the whole pint after which the it is still full. Meanwhile the leprechaun is screaming at him to let him go. Gallagher says, "What about my other two wishes." The leprechaun angrily replies, "Be quick. What are your other two wishes." Gallagher says, "I'll have two more of these." |

Subject: RE: St. Patrick's Week Jokes From: JedMarum Date: 16 Mar 01 - 03:49 PM Seamus Kennedy was out fishing with his two Scottish friends Ed and Brian when a sudden wind came up and blew their boat way out to sea. In fact, the boat wrecked on a feef and left the three men stranded on a small desert island. They spent the fist few weeks learning to find shelter, water and food, but then began to consider how they might get off the island. Their ordeal and their hard work at survival had really bonded the three men, and they became fast and lifelong friends. One day while walking along the beach wondering how they might attract the attention of passing ships, Seamus stubbed his toe on something in the sand. He picked it up only to discover it was a small vessel with a cork stopper. He held it out to Ed, who cleared off the sand and Brian pulled the cork - then suddenly, out pops a genie "You have all three saved me from my prison, therefore you will each get one wish." Ed spoke first, "well I could wish for many things, but the truth is I've learned what's most important to me in this life, I really miss my family and friends. I wish I was home." and poof in an instant Ed was gone. Brian spoke next saying. "ach, its' true, I wish I was back home with the people I love." and poof Brian was gone, as well. Now it was Seamus's turn. He looked at the Genie and spoke up, "you know they're right, it is rather lonely here, I wish I had my friends back!" |

Answer (read it backwards) erutinruF'O yddaP ---------------------- Father Murphy was walkin' through the village one day when he spied Mrs. O'Malley waving her arms frantically at some pigeons, yelling, "Fuck off, pigeons! Fuck off!" "Now, now, Mrs. O'Malley, " said Father Murphy, in a soft, sweet lilting voice. "Ye needn't be yellin' at the pigeons like that. All ye have to do is flick your fingers lightly like this (he demonstrated) and say softly 'Shoo, pigeons, shoo,' ...and the pigeons'll fuck off by themselves." Genie |
