Only the Irish have Jokes Like These Oldies


An Irishman who had a little too much to drink is driving home from the city one night and, of course, his car is weaving violently all over the road.

A cop pulls him over.

"So," says the cop to the driver, where have ya been?"

"Why, I've been to the pub of course," slurs the drunk.

"Well," says the cop, "it looks like you've had quite a few to drink this evening."

"I did all right," the drunk says with a smile.

"Did you know," says the cop, standing straight and folding his arms across his chest, "that a few intersections back, your wife fell out of your car?"

"Oh, thank heavens," sighs the drunk.

"For a minute there, I thought I'd gone deaf."

"That's what I'm here to be telling ya, Brenda."

There was an accident down at the Guinness brewery..."

"Oh, no!" cries Brenda. "Please don't tell me."

"I must, Brenda. Your husband Shamus is dead and gone. I'm sorry."

Finally, she looked up at Tim. "How did it happen, Tim?"

"It was terrible, Brenda. He fell into a vat of Guinness Stout and drowned."

" But you must tell me truth, Tim.. Did he at least go quickly?"

"Well, Brenda... no. In fact, he got out three times to pee."

He says, "So what's bothering you, Mary my dear?"

She says, "Oh, Father, I've got terrible news. My husband passed away last night."

The priest says, "Oh, Mary, that's terrible.

Tell me, Mary, did he have any last requests?"

She says, "That he did, Father."

The priest says, "What did he ask, Mary? "

She says, he said, "Please Mary, put down that damn gun.."

The Priest coughs a few times to get his attention but the drunk continues to sit there.

Finally, the Priest pounds three times on the wall.

The drunk mumbles, "ain't no use knockin', there's no paper on this side either!"

Subject: 4 rules:

Drink, steal, swear & lie (four rules to live by)
I met this guy while I was in Biloxi and
he has a motto he lives by every day. He
said, "listen carefully and live by these
four rules: Drink, Steal, Swear, & Lie.

I was shaking my head no, but he then told me
to listen while he explained his four rules........

So here they are:

Drink from the "everlasting cup" every day. He is the fount that never runs dry!
Steal a moment to help someone who is in
worse shape than you are.
Swear that you will be a better person today
than yesterday, and commit every random act of kindness that presents itself to you..

And last, but not least, when you Lie down at night,
Thank God for all your blessings, for all your trials and tribulations, Praise Him in the storms as well as for the rainbows in your life...say thank you that you GET to live in this free country, and enjoy all the freedom's that we GET to enjoy. And, thank God for your life, for the air you breathe, the water and food you eat, your children, your spouse, your finances as they are all blessings from God, from whom all blessings flow.

*****AMEN and Hosanna *****
