The Errand
McQuillan walked into a bar and ordered martini after martini,
each time removing the olives and placing them in a jar.
When the jar was filled with olives and all the drinks consumed,
the Irishman started to leave.
“S’cuse me”, said a
customer, who was puzzled over what McQuillan had done,
“what was that all about?”
“Nothin’ , said the Irishman, “me
wife just sent me out for a jar of olives!”

Water to wine
An Irish priest is driving down to New York
and gets stopped for speeding.
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!”

The Brothel
Two Irishmen were sitting in a pub having beer
and watching the brothel across the street.
They saw a Baptist minister walk into the brothel,
and one of them said,
“Aye, ’tis a shame to see a man of the cloth goin’ bad.”
Then they saw a Rabbi enter the brothel,
and the other Irishman said,
“Aye, ’tis a shame to see that the Jews
are falling’ victim to temptation.”
Then they saw a Catholic priest enter the brothel,
and one of the Irishmen said,
“What a terrible pity…one of the girls must be quite ill.”

Lost at Sea
Two Irishmen, Patrick & Michael,were adrift in a lifeboat following a
dramatic escape from a burning freighter.
While rummaging through the boat’s provisions,
Patrick stumbled across an old lamp.
Secretly hoping that a genie would appear,
he rubbed the lamp vigorously.
To the amazement of Patrick, a genie came forth.
This particular genie, however,
stated that he could only deliver one wish,
not the standard three.
Without giving much thought to the matter,
Patrick blurted out,
“Make the entire ocean into Guinness Beer!”
The genie clapped his hands with a deafening crash,
and immediately the entire
sea turned into the
finest brew ever sampled by mortals.
Simultaneously,
the genie vanished.
Only the gentle lapping of Guinness on the hull
broke the stillness as the two men
considered their circumstances.
Michael looked disgustedly at Patrick
whose wish had been granted.
After a long, tension-filled moment, he spoke:
“Nice going Patrick!
Now we’re going to have to pee in the boat!

The Fall
Murphy was staggering home with a pint of booze
in his back pocket when he slipped and fell heavily.
Struggling to his feet, he felt something wet running
down his leg.
“Please Lord,” he implored,
“let it be blood!!”

You’ve Been Drinking Again
An Irishman had been drinking at a pub all night.
The bartender finally said that the bar was closing.
So, the Irishman stood up to leave fell flat on his
face.
He tried to stand one more time; same result.
He figured he’ll crawl outside and get some fresh air
and maybe that will sober him up.
Once outside, he stood up and fell on his face again.
So he decided to crawl the four blocks home.
Again, he fell flat on his face.
He crawled through the door and into his bedroom.
When he reached his bed he tried one more time to
stand up.
This time he managed to pull himself upright,
but he quickly fell right into the bed and is sound asleep
as soon as his head hit the pillow.
He was awakened the next morning
to his wife standing over him, shouting,
“SO YOU’VE BEEN DRINKING AGAIN!”
Putting on an innocent look,
and intent on bluffing it out he said,
“What makes you say that?”
“The pub just called;
you left your wheelchair there again.”
