Title: Flooding in Ireland
Post by chewy on Sep 19^th, 2007, 7:56am

If this doesn't tug at your heart strings nothing will.
We've all seen the faces of those ravaged by the floods of Sri Lanka and New Orleans....This "award-winning" photograph of the recent flood waters rising in Ireland captures the horror and suffering there.

Keep these people in your thoughts and prayers.

You have to admire their hardy and rugged attitude toward adversity. Despite whatever misfortunes and discomfort affect their lives, these guys still get together every morning for breakfast.

The reason there are so many Irish jokes is because the Irish have a quaint way with words...Like the Irish patient who hobbled into the surgery's waiting room.
"I hope to God the doctor finds something wrong with me because I'd hate to feel like this if I was well!"

Murphy dropped dead the moment he arrived home from a vacation in the tropics. He was laid out in the coffin for friends and neighbours to pay their last respects.
"He's got a great tan," Mrs Doolan from next door mused. "The holiday did him the world of good."
"And he looks so calm and serene," said Mrs McGuiness.
"That's because he died in his sleep." explained Mrs Murphy, "and he doesn't know he's dead yet, but when he wakes up, the shock will kill him!"

"Your glass is empty O’Flaherty, will you be having another one
"And why would I be wanting two empty glasses?" replied O’Flaherty.

Murphy arrived home late from the pub, well oiled and ready for trouble.
"Is that you Murphy?"
"Byjasis! It damned well better be!"

Two tough union men were working on a building site when Murphy fell from the second floor scaffolding.
"Are ya dead?" cried Gallager from above.
"To be sure I am," replied Murphy.
"You are such a liar Murphy that I don't know whether to believe you or not!" called Gallagher.
"That proves I'm dead," said Murphy's voice from the rubble below,
"because if I was alive you wouldn't be game to call me a liar!"

PADDY... "If you can guess how many chooks I have in my bag, you can have both of them."
"Three?"... Suggested Shaun.

Paddy was coming through the customs at the airport carrying a large bottle. "What have you there?" said a suspicious customs officer.
"`Tis Lourdes holy water . I am bringing it home with me", said Paddy.
"The officer took the bottle and tried some." Why it's Irish whiskey!" he spluttered.
"Lord bless me!", said Paddy, "another bloomin` miracle."

On his way home one night, Paddy dropped into the pub.
The barman poured him a beer and asked if he wanted to be in a raffle.
"What's it for?" asked Paddy.
"It's for a poor widow with 13 kids." said the barman.
Paddy shook his head, "No good for me. I’d never be able to keep them."

A few years ago I had the pleasure of driving a bus for an Irish wedding. We had 27 people on board, and they polished off 4 cases of beer on a 45 minute trip. The wedding was held at a banquet hall that had an open bar, and the festivities lasted 5 hours. On the twenty minute ride back they drank all but two bottles from two cases of beer. I dropped them off at the pub where I picked them up, and most went in to finish the celebration.

They were some of the funnest people I ever drove. One of the older gents came up to me and said, "Laddie, it's a chame you canna have one with us." I told him that I am kind of a different Irishman in that I don't drink. He looked at me and said, Lad, you're not different. You're ODD!" ;;D

If all who drank handled it like that I would have no problem with it at all.

Jerry, the ODD Irishman ;;D

My personal favorite.

Aer Lingus Flight 101 was flying from Heathrow to Dublin one night, with Paddy the Pilot and Shamus the co-pilot. As they approached Dublin airport, they looked out the front window. "B'jees" said Paddy "Will ye look at how short dat runway is".
"You're not kiddin, Paddy" replied Shamus. "Dis is gonna be one a' de trickiest landings you're ever gonna see" said Paddy
"You're not kiddin, Paddy" replied Shamus. "Right Shamus. When I give de signal, you put the engines in reverse" said Paddy.
"Right, I'll be doing dat" replied Shamus. "And den ye put de flaps dow straight away" said Paddy.
"Right, I'll be doing that" replied Shamus. "And den ye stamp on dem brakes as hard as ye can" said Paddy. "Right, I'll be doing dat" replied Shamus.
"And den ye pray to de Mother Mary with all a' your soul" said Paddy. "I be doing dat already" replied Shamus.
So they approached the runway with Paddy and Shamus full of nerves and sweaty palms. As soon as the wheels hit the ground, Shamus put the engines in reverse, put the flaps down, stamped on the brakes and prayed to the Mother Mary with all of his soul.
Amidst the roaring engines, squealing of tyres and lots of smoke, the plane screeched to a halt centimetres from the end of the runway, much to the relief of Paddy and Shamus and everyone on board.
As they sat in the cockpit regaining their composure, Paddy looked out the front window and said to Shamus "Dat has gotta be de shortest runway i have EVER seen in me whole life".
Shamus looked out the side window and replied "Yeah Paddy, but look at how wide it is!"

;;D
