An Irishman on a scaffolding four stories high heard the noon whistle.
But when he would have descended, he found that the ladder had been removed. One of his fellow workmen on the pavement below, to whom he called, explained that the foreman had carried off the ladder for another job.
“But how’ll I get down?” Pat demanded. Mike, on the pavement, suggested jumping as the only means. Pat’s lunch was below, he was hungry, and he accepted the suggestion seriously.
“Will yez kitch me?” he demanded.
“Sure, an’ I’ll do that,” Mike agreed.
Pat clapped his arms in imitation of a rooster, and crowed, to bolster up his courage, and leaped. He regained consciousness after a short interval, and feebly sat up on the pavement. He regarded Mike reproachfully.
“For why did yez not kitch me?” he asked, the pain in his bones sounding in his voice.
“Begorry,” Mike replied sympathetically, “I was waiting for yez to bounce!”
Three guys, one Irish, one English, and one Scottish are out walking along the beach together one day.
They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it.
“I will give you each one wish, that’s three wishes in total,” says the Genie.
The Scottish guy says, “I am a fisherman, my Dad’s a fisherman, his Dad was a fisherman and my son will be one too. I want all the oceans full of fish for all eternity.”
So, with a blink of the Genie’s eye “poof” the oceans were teeming with fish.
The Englishman was amazed, so he said, “I want a wall around England, protecting her, so that no one will get in for all eternity.”
Again, with a blink of the Genie’s eye “poof” there was a huge wall around England.
The Irishman asks, “I’m very curious. Please tell me more about this wall.”
The Genie explains, “Well, it’s about 150 feet high, 50 feet thick, protecting England so that nothing can get in or out.”
The Irishman says, “Please Fill it up with water.”
I told my friend not to get too excited about turning 32, since her birthday party would be so short.
“Why would it be short?” she asked.
I said, “Because it’s your thirty-second birthday.”
