BAR HUMOUR

A skeleton enters a bar and orders a pint,
and a mop.

A horse enters a bar and the barman says,
'Why the long face?'

David Hasselhoff walks into a bar and says to the barman,
'I want you to call me David Hoff.'
The barman replies,
'Sure thing, Dave ...no hassle.'

John (not the John of this parish) was sitting outside
his local enjoying a pint when a passing nun berates
him on the evils of alcohol.
'You should be ashamed of yourself young man,
drinking is a sin, and alcohol is the devil's blood.'
John takes umbrage at this outburst, and goes on the offensive:
'How do you know this, Sister?'
'My Mother Superior told me.'
'But have you ever actually ever had a drink, yourself?'
'Don't be ridiculous, of course I've never let it pass my lips.'
'Then let me buy you one and if, afterwards, you still believe
it is such a scourge, I will give it up for life.'
The nun replies indignantly, 'How could I, a nun, sit outside
a public house drinking?'
John replies, 'Don't worry, I'll ask the barman to put yours
in a cup, then no one will ever know.'
He enters the pub again and says to the barman,
'Another pint for me and a triple vodka on the rocks,'
then he lowers his voice to a whisper. 'And could you put
the vodka in a cup.'
'Oh no,' the barman exclaims, 'it's that nun again!'

ON THE OTHER HAND

He didn't like the casserole
and he didn't like the cake;
he said the biscuits were too hard
'unlike Mother used to bake'.
I didn't perk the coffee right,
he didn't like the stew,
I didn't mend his socks
the way his mother used to do.
I pondered for an answer,
I was looking for a clue,
so I smacked him hard around the ear
like his mother used to do.

ABSENT FRIENDS

A new Irish resident at a Kerry village enters his local pub
for the first time and orders three beers. The barman's eyebrows
are raised by the unusual request; however, undaunted he
serves the man the three drinks, which he consumes quietly
alone at a table.
About an hour later the man orders three more beers.
The following evening the procedure is repeated, to the
bemusement of the barman and other patrons.
The man becomes a village cause celebre because
of his eccentric drinking habit.
This intriguing behaviour is repeated for several weeks
until the barman's curiosity overcomes him and he broaches
the subject with the customer:
'Forgive me sorr,'
the barman asks tentatively,
'but folk round here wonder why you always
order three beers?' His broad Kerry tones modulated by
a rising inflection.
'Tis odd, sure enough,' replies the man. 'You see, I have
a brother in America and a brother in Australia. We have a pact
promising each other that we always order an extra two drinks
as a way of maintaining the family bond.'
One day the man orders only two drinks and retires to his
usual table. The solemn-faced barman approaches:
'Everyone here wishes to offer condolences on the death of
your brother,' he whispers sensitively.
The man ponders the kindness for a moment, then replies
reassuringly: 'You'll be glad to hear that my two brothers
are alive and well. It's just that I, meself, have decided
to give up drinking for Lent.'

I'm glad you enjoyed it Marian(a); however I cannot take
any credit for the content of these jokes (my forte is verse
writing, you may have noticed). :wink: I do, though, enjoy
putting my editing shammy to work on the presentation and
I welcome the chance to practise writing dialogue.
Speaking of apportioning credit, I think we should all applaud
the big-hearted Irish for not making us bow the knee to political
correctness.
Reverting to my verses may I, in all modesty, refer you to my
piece entitled, MMIX?
'Cold February will change his tune
and truncate old winter's days.'
Let's hope that its other prognostications prove equally accurate;
the harbingers of a temperate year, at least meteorologically.

BEDTIME BONANZAS

An attractive Irish daughter, from a staunchly Catholic
family, returned home to Ireland after an absence
of five years.
''Where were ye,' stormed her father, 'why didn't ye
contact us?'
The distressed girl snifflingly replied,
'Dad, I became a prostitute.'
'Ye did what?' he cried disbelievingly,
'leave this house immediately, ye are a disgrace
to this good Catholic family.'
'OK Dad, as you wish. But I came back to give Mum this
expensive fur coat and a £100.000 savings certificate.
For my little brother this gold Rolex, and for you Dad,
the sparkling new Mercedes parked outside. Also a invitation
for all the family to spend Christmas and New Year
on my yacht in the Riviera ...'
'Now what was it ye said ye had become?'
'A prostitute, Daddy.'
'Oh bejasus, ye scared the life out of me, I thought ye said
a Protestant, come here and give yer old Dad a big hug.'

40 Gypsies arrive at the Pearly Gates in their Transit vans and caravans.

St Peter goes into the gatehouse and phones God, saying. 'I've got 40 travellers here. Can I let them in?'

God says 'No, we are over quota on travellers . Go out and tell them to choose between them who are the 12 most worthy, and I will let just the dozen in.'

Less than a minute later St Peter is on the phone to God again.

'They've gone', he tells God.

'What?' says God, 'All 40 of them?'

'No, the gates'

Thanks, Marian, for keeping the funnies flag flying.

DOUBLE TROUBLE

Two doctors opened a joint practice in a small town
and put up a sign reading:
Dr Jones & Dr Smith, Psychiatry & Proctology
Typical of petty bureaucracy, the local council objected
to the sign, so the doctors changed it to:
Hysterias & Posteriors
This also failed to find favour with officialdom,
so they changed it again:
Schizoids & Haemorrhoids. No go.
Next they tried: Catatonics & High Colonics.
Thumbs down again.
Then came: Manic Depressives & Anal Retentives.
Still no good. Another attempt: Minds & Behinds.
Unacceptable again. So they tried:
Lost souls & ....holes. Censored!
Analysis & Anal Cysts. Nope.
Freaks & Cheeks. Still no go.
Nuts & Butts. Uh Uh.
Loons & Moons? Forget it.
In desperation the doctors finally came up with anodyne
acceptability: Dr Jones and Dr Smith, Odds & Ends.

I am assured that there is more than a grain of truth
in the following two stories:

TABLES TURNED

This one concerns those dubious traders who go around
laying tarmac on driveways. They approached a proprietorial-
looking gentleman standing atop the steps of an imposing
mansion.
'We'll tarmac your drive for £500,' they volunteered.
'OK,' replied the man unhesistatingly.
Although taken aback by such unaccustomed acquiescence,
they proceeded with the work. Upon completion, they
approached the gentleman again for payment.
'I'll pay you in goblins,' he offered.
It turned out he was an inmate of what was a mental institution.

BROKEN WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY

This is a story about an inmate of psychiatric unit being visited
by experts charged with the responsibility of assessing patients.
While doing their rounds they were approached by a patient
claiming to be ready for discharge:
'When will you let me leave?' He pleaded.
'Soon now,' they replied good humouredly.
As they were leaving the man hurled a brick at them, shouting:
'You won't forget, will you!'

Hi Robert
Did you notice that the fathers in Gavin & Stacey
were named by the scriptwriters, Peter Sutcliffe
and Fred West respectively? I think that's taking
liberties to a criminal extent.
What is happening to your beloved Tigers?
One win in 18 matches and a couple of howlers
by Geovanni and Duke yesterday. I still think they
will stay up, but they'll need play all their remaining
matches as though they are cup finals. Also,
I'm afraid they are unlikely get past Arsenal in the
actual FA Cup, but you never know. :o

I do not watch Gavin and Stacey, Keith :wink: :)

I have mentioned the Tigers on another page Keith, we are desperate for point's at the moment :( I do not have your confidence about their staying up. The worst thing for us would be to win the FA Cup...............then be relegated in the same season :roll: :(
