Talking OK a few more Irish Jokes. It's gotta still be St. Paddy's day somewhere!

You have to Love the Irish

Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place. Looking up to heaven he said, 'Lord take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up me Irish Whiskey!'

Miraculously, a parking place appeared.

Paddy looked up again and said, 'Never mind, I found one.'




~~~~

Father Murphy walks into a pub in Donegal, and asks the first man he meets, 'Do you want to go to heaven?'

The man said, 'I do, Father.'

The priest said, 'Then stand over there against the wall.'

Then the priest asked the second man, 'Do you want to go to heaven?'

'Certainly, Father,' the man replied.

'Then stand over there against the wall,' said the priest.

Then Father Murphy walked up to O'Toole and asked, 'Do you want to go to heaven?'

O'Toole said, 'No, I don't Father.'

The priest said, 'I don't believe this. You mean to tell me that when you die you don't want to go to heaven?'

O'Toole said, 'Oh, when I die , yes. I thought you were getting a group together to go right now.'

~~~~~

Paddy was in New York

He was patiently waiting and watching the traffic cop on a busy street crossing. The cop stopped the flow of traffic and shouted, 'Okay, Pedestrians.' Then he'd allow the traffic to pass.

He'd done this several times, and Paddy still stood on the sidewalk.

After the cop had shouted, 'Pedestrians!' for the tenth time, Paddy went over to him and said, 'Is it not about time ye let the Catholics across?'

~~~~~

Gallagher opened the morning newspaper and was dumbfounded to read in the obituary column that he had died. He quickly phoned his best friend, Finney.

'Did you see the paper?' asked Gallagher. 'They say I died!!'

'Yes, I saw it!' replied Finney. 'Where are ye callin' from?'

~~~~~

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!'


~~~~~

Patton staggered home very late after another evening with his drinking buddy, Paddy. He took off his shoes to avoid waking his wife, Kathleen.

He tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading to their upstairs bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step. As he caught himself by grabbing the banister, his body swung around and he landed heavily on his rump. A whiskey bottle in each back pocket broke and made the landing especially painful.

Managing not to yell, Patton sprung up, pulled down his pants, and looked in the hall mirror to see that his butt cheeks were cut and bleeding. He managed to quietly find a full box of Band-Aids and began putting a Band-Aid as best he could on each place he saw blood.

He then hid the now almost empty Band-Aid box and shuffled and stumbled his way to bed.

In the morning, Patton woke up with searing pain in both his head and butt and Kathleen staring at him from across the room.

She said, 'You were drunk again last night weren't you?'

Patton said, 'Why you say such a mean thing?'

'Well,' Kathleen said, 'it could be the open front door, it could be the broken glass at the bottom of the stairs, it could be the drops of blood trailing through the house, it could be your bloodshot eyes, but mostly ..... it's all those Band-Aids stuck on the hall mirror...

Thanks Jammie!! I really wasn't lost I was on a secret mission!! I'm too cold natured. You must be a hardy breed here!! I've always loved the idea of being snowed in. With all the comforts of a warm fireplace and essentials at hand. Not having to get out in it but looking out the window at it!! But, you people have to get out and tend to things in it!! BRRRRRR!!!!! Here's my smilie contribution. Hope it's considered a smilie. Oh..and not a rerun! I'll be coming to play in the snow when..........

Can't say I blame you and thanks for the laugh.

Yes, unfortunately many people who live further south think we just get to cozy up when the snow starts flying. Well, they do generally close schools and a few businesses once we hit about a foot of snow, BUT the cold stops no one. We can have 50 below windchills and everything is still open. As you know, winter in South Dakota isn't my dream climate either.

Thanks Jammie, and I do know I'd love to visit !! Would just hate getting up on those ice cold mornings to freeze my tail off. Having to work in it!! Gloves needed for sure. Like working with my hands but gloves are for pitching hay and such!! Yep, when you need a shot of warm come to Texas!! Just don't come in July or August without some ice packs.

Cowgirl - I love the band aids joke, scared the dog I was laughing so loud.

Satx - yep, cold. Really sucks when you get up at 4:30 in the morning and have to clear the windows on the truck when it's below zero and find about 1/8" of ice that you have to scrape off too. Jammie and I are the official "winter whiners" so you'll hear about the cold from us, and the fun of all that snow from others.

To all - I was surfing the employment ads online the other day and found one I think I may apply for. Apparently there's a little office building cafe looking for someone to run it. I'll let you know what happens. Life's starting to level off, tax office is almost done for the season and the manager has been kind enough to give me Saturdays off for the rest of the season, meaning I will actually have 2 days in a row off every other weekend - celebration is in full swing. The other job is driving me crazy right about now, hence the employment ad surfing. We'll see what happens.

Snowbird, good luck with the new job situation. That's the problem when the economy slides, everyone is just kinda stuck where they're at AND then there are days you're just thankful to have a job to go to.

Hey satx! Sorry I haven't been in the Games/Trivia lately. I started classes, and it's a load!

It's kinda nice being snowed in sometimes... but after a while, I start to dis like it! I'm kinda weird, and I like crazy weather... As long as it doesn't get down to -40 again like that one night this winter. I had to work at 7 AM the next morning. It was so cold, the frost on my windshield wouldn't even come off! I think that is probably the coldest weather that I've actually been outside in.

Monday and Tuesday were in the 60's... I actually wore shorts! Now I have to find a tanning bed .
