    Blueberries are blue cuz they like Jazz & Blues, or they're depressed, or they're dead, or they're bits of the sky, or maybe......just maybe, your an idiot!! :p

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,285 ✭✭✭Smellyirishman


    Because you touch yourself.

    They're Blue cause they get bruised and beaten by all the other berries cause they taste better.

    And for the Father Ted Response:

    These are small, but the ones out there are Far Away!

    Cos if they were red or yellow or green or some other colour then the name 'blueberries' would be just the stupidest name ever!

    Because the redberries didn't ring as they promised to.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,287 ✭✭✭joe_chicken


    Because they wanted to join The Blue Man Group, but realised they were berries, an unfortunate consequence of which makes them inanimate objects.

    so the people who tuck her must not like blueberries being called blueberies!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 885 ✭✭✭Spyral


    they are blue as they reflect that wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum which we can see and tend to call blue (or purple)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    They're blue cuz the lot of ye sick wierdos like to pull furiously on yer willys at night which make baby Jesus cry which in turn pisses Joseph off cuz his crack ho' of a girlfriend, Mary, is too busy getting drunk off the liquor and pawning off Jesus's gifts the wisemen brought him on the day of his birth. She gets drunk cuz Joseph, her no-good rogue boyfriend can't get a job in Bethleham so he wastes all the child benefit funds down at the local tracks. He's also keeping a low-key since there's a warrant out for his arrest after he assaulted someone in a chipper on a Saturday night with a glass bottle as well as assaulting a Roman Gardá.

    Ye ignorant fúckers!

    Actually, scrap that about Jesus's tears. They're blue because of your exceedingly bad grammer. What does live the polish mean, some sort of slang to be built like a mega fúckton house?
