    After finding out Paddy had shagged his girlfriend for the first time, Murphy asked him how it was.

    "It was amazing" Paddy gushed. "As we were both virgins made it even more special, it was just a shame that we had to be fairly quiet."

    "Why was that?" Asked Murphy.

    "Her kids were asleep in the bedroom next door" Paddy replied.

    With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed last week.

    Larry La Prise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey" died peacefully at age 93. The most traumatic part for the family was getting him into the coffin.

    They put his left leg in..... and that's when the trouble started.

    So I was in my car, and I was driving along, and my boss rang up, and he said 'You've been promoted.' And I swerved. And then he rang up a second time and said "You've been promoted again.' And I swerved again. He rang up a third time and said 'You're managing director.' And I went into a tree. And a policeman came up and said 'What happened to you?' And I said 'I careered off the road

    The heavy metal band Bring Me the Horizon take their name from a quote in a Pirates of the Caribbean movie in which Jack Sparrow says, "Now bring me the horizon."

    The original statement may not have been entirely accurate.


    It really has been a bit of a strange day!

    First, I found a hat full of money, and then I got chased by an angry man with a guitar..?

    THESE ARE ACTUAL COMPLAINTS RECEIVED BY "THOMAS COOK VACATIONS" FROM DISSATISFIED CUSTOMERS:

    1. "They should not allow topless sunbathing on the beach. It was very distracting for my husband who just wanted to relax."

    2. "On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food."

    3. "We went on holiday to Spain and had a problem with the taxi drivers as they were all Spanish."

    4. "We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our own swimsuits and towels. We assumed it would be included in the price."

    5. "The beach was too sandy. We had to clean everything when we returned to our room."

    6. "We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as white but it was more yellow."

    7. "It's lazy of the local shopkeepers in Puerto Vallartato close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time -- this should be banned."

    8. "No-one told us there would be fish in the water. The children were scared."

    9. "Although the brochure said that there was a fully equipped kitchen, there was no egg-slicer in the drawers."

    10. "I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local convenience store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts."

    11. "The roads were uneven and bumpy, so we could not read the local guide book during the bus ride to the resort. Because of this, we were unaware of many things that would have made our holiday more fun."

    12. "It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England. It took the Americans only three hours to get home. This seems unfair."

    13. "I compared the size of our one-bedroom suite to our friends' three-bedroom and ours was significantly smaller."

    14. "The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the resort.' We're trainee hairdressers and we think they knew and made us wait longer for service."

    15. "When we were in Spain, there were too many Spanish people there. The receptionist spoke Spanish, the food was Spanish. No one told us that there would be so many foreigners."

    16. "We had to line up outside to catch the boat and there was no air-conditioning."

    17. "It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel."

    18. "I was bitten by a mosquito. The brochure did not mention mosquitoes."

    19. "My fiancée and I requested twin-beds when we booked, but instead we were placed in a room with a king bed. We now hold you responsible and want to be re-reimbursed for the fact that I became pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked."

    I was new at golf, and I hit a ball into a pond.

    One of the members told me, "you have three options. You can drop a ball where your shot crossed the red line, and add one stroke. You can go back as far as you want and drop, same penalty. Or you can play the shot again from the same position, one stroke penalty."

    So I said, "okay, that's all very well, but while you were explaining that, a fish spat out my ball and it's over there beyond those white stakes, see?"

    "Oh that's bad luck," I was told, "now your ball is out of bounds and you have to go back and hit again, add a stroke."

    "Well I'm not sure it's my ball, probably my ball is still down there, and I can hit from here instead."

    "God, you're learning this game fast, it's amazing the progress you've made in just one hole" said the member.

    Then another fish spat out a ball right onto the fairway. The member went over and looked at it -- "are you playing a Titleist four with a black dot?"

    "Yeah," I said, "pretty sure I was."

    "Well that's too bad, because this is a Taylormade, your Titleist is o.b., maybe you do need more lessons after all."

    A couple, both age 78, went to a sex therapist's office. The doctor asked, "What can I do for you?"
    The man said, "Will you watch us have sex?"
    The doctor looked puzzled but agreed.
    When the couple finished, the doctor said, "There's nothing wrong with the way you have sex," and charged them $50.
    This happened several weeks in a row. The couple would make an appointment, have sex with no problems, pay the doctor, then leave.
    Finally, the doctor asked, "Just exactly what are you trying to find out?"
    "We're not trying to find out anything," the husband replied.
    "She's married and we can't go to her house. I'm married and we can't go to my house. The Holiday Inn charges $90. The Hilton charges $108. We do it here for $50...and I get $43 back from Medicare.

    Jane and Arlene are outside their nursing home, having a drink and a smoke, when it starts to rain.
    Jane pulls out a condom, cuts off the end, puts it over her cigarette, and continues smoking.
    Arlene: What in the hell is that?
    Jane: A condom. This way my cigarette doesn’t get wet.
    Arlene: Where did you get it?
    Jane: You can get them at any pharmacy.
    The next day, Arlene hobbles herself into the local pharmacy and announces to the pharmacist that she wants a box of condoms.
    The pharmacist, obviously embarrassed, looks at her kind of strangely (she is, after all, over 80 years of age), but very delicately asks what size, texture, brand of condom she prefers.
    ‘Doesn’t matter Sonny, as long as it fits on a Camel.’
    The pharmacist fainted.

    From "Long Time No See", a book by Dermot Healy:

    A local councillor calls into an old man.
    He says: "Joejoe, you're looking well!"
    and the old man replies, "There were three stages of a man, I was once told - youth, middle age, and...?"
    "And?"
    "You're looking well!"
