    Coming in through passport control in Dublin Airport. After a flight from London.

    Passenger - "I don't have my passport on me"
    Garda - "Are you Irish?"
    Passenger - "Yeah"
    Garda - "All right, go on then"

    This was 2 weeks after the 7/7 London bombings.

    On the DART a few days ago, talking about angry militant vegans: "It's funny how a bunch of herbivores have such a vicious herd mentality" :D

    An addict girl and her boyfriend walking by Patrick’s cathedral.
    Girl: you could have got up last night and done that job with the lads and you were too much of a coward. (Now roaring) I have family in the uk that are millionaires and I stayed here with you and you are too much of a coward to go out and do a job with the lads.

    Fella just carry’s on in a daze saying nothing.

    Two old lads overheard a day after a funeral. Says one - the priest said nothing but good things about the deceased...

    Says the other - just as well - if he had included the bad - we would still be there ...

    Crowd of people around my grandparents table chatting at dinnertime during the harvest years ago. One of them pipes up.
    "Well Jer you buried your father since we were here last. "
    "We did boy." he replies. Sure we had to do something with him when he died."

    from a local radio station around Limerick, guy is reading out death notices, gets to the end and says "grand!, no one we know"

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    Was walking behind a hearse at a friends funeral.
    Two lads walking ahead of me one says "did he leave much?"

    there was a pause,and then the reply "I think he left the lot!"

    Priceless

    you are too much of a coward to go out and do a job with the lads.

    Jaysus, I'd say there's some poor unfortunate out there who's very glad that this guy was too much of a coward to "do a job with the lads" :eek: :D
