    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!'

    ********************

    Walking into the bar, Mike said to Charlie the bartender, 'Pour me a stiff one - just had another fight with the little woman.'

    'Oh yeah?' said Charlie, 'And how did this one end?'

    'When it was over,' Mike replied, 'She came to me on her hands and knees.'

    'Really,' said Charles, 'Now that's a switch! What did she say?'

    She said, 'Come out from under the bed, you little chicken.'

    *********************

    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.

    The first Politician.

     



    An archeological team has uncovered
    10,000 year old bones and fossil remains
    Of what is believed to be the first
    Politician.

    National Reactions To Terrorist Threat

    The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to a "Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was during the great fire of 1666.

    The Scots raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the Bastards." They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the frontline in the British army for the last 300 years.

    The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide". The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France 's white flag factory, effectively paralysing the country's military capability.

    It's not only the French who are on a heightened level of alert. Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout loudly and excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides."

    The Germans also increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbour" and "Lose".

    Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual, and the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels .

    The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

    New Zealand has also raised its security levels - from "baaa" to "BAAAA!". Due to continuing defense cutbacks (the airforce being a squadron of spotty teenagers flying paper aeroplanes and the navy some toy boats in the Prime Minister's bath), New Zealand only has one more level of escalation, which is "Shit, I hope Australia will come end rescue us". In the event of invasion, New Zealanders will be asked to gather together in a strategic defensive position called "Bondi".

    A man is driving around the back woods of Birmingham and he sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house: 'Talking Dog For Sale ' So he rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard.

    The man goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever sitting there.

    'You talk?' he asks.


    'Yep,' the Lab replies.


    After the man recovers from the shock of hearing a dog that talks, he says 'So, what's your story?'


    The Lab looks up and says, 'Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young, and I wanted to help the government,
    so I told the MI5. In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping.''I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running. '
    But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down.
    I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in.
    I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded several medals.''I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now
    I'm just retired.'

    The man is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.


    'Ten quid,' the owner says.

    'Ten quid? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?'

    'Because he's a liar. He never did any of that sh*t.

    A woman who was beaten black and blue, goes to the doctor.
    Doctor: What happened?"
    Woman: "Doctor, I don't know what to do. Every time my husband comes home drunk, he beats me to a pulp."
    Doctor: "I have a real good medicine for that. Whenever your husband comes home inebriated, just take a glass of chamomile tea and start gargling with it.Just gargle and gargle."
    Two weeks later she returns to the doctor,and looks reborn and fresh again.
    Woman: "Doc, That was a brilliant idea! Every time my husband came home drunk, I gargled with chamomile tea and gargled and nothing happened."


    Doctor: "You see how keeping your mouth shut helps!"

    "As good as this is," said the Scotsman, "I still prefer the pubs back home. In Glasgow , there's a wee place called McTavish's. The landlord goes out of his way for the locals. When you buy four drinks, He'll buy the fifth drink."

    "Well, Angus," said the Englishman, "At my local in London, the Red Lion, the barman will buy you your third drink after you buy the first two."
    "Ahhh, dat's nothin'," said the Newfie. "Back home in Sin Jahn's, there's the Codfish Bar. The moment you sets foot in the place, they'll buy you a drink, then another. All the drinks you like actually. Then, when you've had enough drinks, they'll take you upstairs and see dat you gets laid. All on de house!"
    The Englishman and Scotsman immediately shout down the Newfie's claims, but he swears every word is true.

    "Well," said the Englishman, still suspicious, "Did this actually happen to you?"

    "Not me self, personally, no," admitted the Newf. "But it did happen to me sister quite a few times."

    --------------------------
    Remember in prayer the many who are sick of our community.. Smile at someone who is hard to love. Say 'Hell' to someone who doesn't care much about you.
    --------------------------
    Don't let worry kill you off - let the Church help.
    --------------------------

    The economy is so bad that ...

     



    The economy is so bad that ...

    I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.

    I ordered a burger at McDonald's and the kid behind the counter asked, "Can you afford fries with that?"

    CEO's are now playing miniature golf.

    If the bank returns your check marked "Insufficient Funds," you call them and ask if they meant you or them.

    Hot Wheels and Matchbox stocks are trading higher than GM.

    McDonald's is selling the 1/4 ouncer.

    Parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children's names.

    A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico .

    Dick Cheney took his stockbroker hunting.

    Motel Six won't leave the light on anymore.

    The Mafia is laying off judges.

    Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen.

    Congress says they are looking into this Bernard Madoff scandal. Oh Great!! The guy who made $50 Billion disappear is being investigated by the people who made $1.5 Trillion disappear!

    And, finally...

    I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc., I called the Suicide Lifeline. I got a call center in Pakistan , and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck.
    Every Day I Wake Up Above Ground Is a Good Day!!

    It's Hell to be Old

    OLD people have problems that you haven't
    even considered yet!

    An 85-year-old man was requested by his
    Doctor for a sperm count as part of his physical exam.

    The doctor gave the man a jar and said, 'Take
    this jar home and bring back a semen sample tomorrow.'

    The next day the 85-year-old man reappeared
    at the doctor's office and gave him the jar, which was as clean and empty as on the previous day.

    The doctor asked what happened and the man
    explained, 'Well, doc, it's like this--first I tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing.

    'Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with
    her right hand, then with her left, still nothing.
    She tried with her mouth, first with the teeth in, then with her teeth out, still nothing.

    'We even called up Arleen, the lady next door
    and she tried too, first with both hands, then an armpit, and she even tried squeezin' it between her knees, but still nothing.'

    The doctor was shocked! 'You asked your
    neighbor?'

    The old man replied, 'Yep, none of us could get
    the jar open.

    ^^^good one^^^


    As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a
    funeral director to play at a graveside service for a
    homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service
    was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Kentucky
    backcountry.

    As I was not familiar with the rural roads, I got lost; and
    being a typical man I didn't stop for directions.

    I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral director
    had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight.

    There were only the diggers and crew left and they were
    eating lunch. I felt bad and apologized to the men for being
    late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and
    the vault lid was already in place. I didn't know what else
    to do, so I started to play.

    The workers put down their lunches and began to gather
    around. Embarrassed about being late, and feeling sad for
    this poor man with no family and friends, I put my heart and
    soul into the music. Overcome with emotion, I played like
    I've never played before for this forgotten homeless man.

    And as I played "Amazing Grace," the workers began to weep.
    They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished I
    packed up my bagpipes and started for my car. Though my
    head hung low, my heart was full.

    As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers
    say, "Sweet Mother of Jesus, I never seen nothing like that
    before, and I've been putting in septic tanks for years."

    A cowboy appeared before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates.

    'Have you ever done anything of particular merit?' St. Peter asked.

    'Well, I can think of one thing,' the cowboy offered. 'On a trip to

    the Black Hills out in South Dakota, I came upon a gang of bikers,

    who were threatening a young woman.

    I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldn't listen. So,

    I approached the largest and most heavily tattooed biker and

    smacked him in his face, kicked his bike over, ripped out his

    nose ring, and threw it on the ground. I yelled, 'Now, back off!!

    Or I'll kick the crap out of all of you!'

    St. Peter was impressed, 'When did this happen?'

    'Just a couple of minutes ago'
    iv`e used up all my sick days at work .. can i call in dead ?
