    Although my ex husband and I are divorced, we still live together on our goat farm.

    It's important we stay together for the kids.

    If I were you I'd hire a nanny.

    I entered a competition yesterday to see who had the most prominent veins.

    I didn't win, but I came varicose.

    IRISHMAN'S FIRST DRINK WITH HIS SON
    While reading an article last night about fathers and sons, memories came flooding back to the time I took me son out for his first pint.
    Off we went to our local pub only two blocks from the cottage.
    I got him a Guinness. He didn't like it, so I drank it.
    Then I got him a pint of ale.
    He didn't like that either, so I drank it.
    Finally, I thought he might like some Harp Lager.
    He didn't. I drank it.
    I thought maybe he'd like whiskey better than beer so we tried a Jameson's.
    Nope!
    In desperation, I had him try that rare Redbreast , Ireland 's finest. He wouldn't even smell it.
    What could I do but drink it!
    By the time I realized he just didn't like to drink, I was so ****-faced I could hardly push his pram back home.

    A mate called and said, "I've just had a huge fight with the wife. Do you have a spare bed for a few weeks until I find a flat?"

    I replied, "I've a sofa, if that's any good."

    "Perfect," he said, "you're an absolute legend! I'll send her round in a bit."

    The children got very upset when I told them I had put ginger in the curry. They loved that cat.

    A woamn was shopping at a produce stand in her neighborhood. She approached the vendor and asked, "How much are these oranges?"
    "Two for 50 pence," answered the vendor.
    "How much is just one?" she asked.
    "30 pence," answered the vendor.
    The woman says "I'll take the other one,"

    Paddy and Mick are two Irishmen working at the local sawmill.

    One day, Mick slips and his arm gets caught and severed by the big bench saw.

    Paddy quickly puts the limb in a plastic bag and rushes it and Mick to the local hospital.

    Next day, Paddy goes to the hospital and asks after Mick.

    The nurse says, 'Oh he's out in Rehab exercising'.

    Paddy couldn't believe it, but here's Mick out the back exercising his now re-attached arm.

    The very next day he's back at work in the saw mill.

    A couple of days go by, and then Mick slips and severs his leg on another bloody big saw thingamabob.

    So Paddy puts the limb in a plastic bag and rushes it and Mick off to hospital.

    Next day he calls in to see him and asks the nurse how he is.

    The nurse replies, 'He's out in the Rehab again exercising'.

    And sure enough, here's Mick out there doing some serious work on the treadmill.

    And very soon Mick comes back to work.

    But, as usual, within a couple of days he has another accident and severs his head.

    Wearily Paddy puts the head in a plastic bag and transports it and Mick to hospital.

    Next day he goes in and asks the nurse how Mick is.

    The nurse breaks down and cries and says, 'He's dead.'

    Paddy is shocked, but not surprised. 'I suppose the saw finally did him in.'

    'No', says the nurse, 'Some dopey b*stard put his head in a plastic bag and he suffocated'

    Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet.

    He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath.

    Few people know that unfortunately this made him a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

    I was standing in a bar in Tipperary and a Chinese man comes in,stands next to me and starts drinking.
    I asked him'Do you know any of those martial arts like Kung fu,Karate or Ju-jitsu'?
    He says 'NO,why the hell would you ask me that,is it because I'm Chinese'?
    I said 'No,its because you're drinking my Guinness'!

    In the 1970's, Sister Sledge used to drive around in British cars.

    Their favourites were the Austin Music and Cortina Trap...

    I asked my barber to give me a haircut like Tom Cruise.

    So he put a cushion on the seat.

    I went along to the riots over George Floyd's death and looted myself a 65-inch telly.

    Some would say that makes me a common thief, but I like to see the bigger picture.

    Irish Lobster Trap

    The day after his wife disappeared in a kayaking accident, an Irish man answered his door to find a grim-faced constable waiting in the front yard. "We're sorry, Mr. O' Flynn, but we have some information about your dear wife, Maureen" said the officer. "Tell me! Did you find her?" Michael Patrick O'Flynn asked. The constable said, "I have some bad news, some good news, and some really great news. Which would you like to hear first?" Fearing the worst, Mr. O' Flynn said, "Give me the bad news first." The constable said, "I'm sorry to tell you, sir, but early this morning we found your poor wife's body in the bay." "Lord sufferin' Jesus and Holy Mother of God!" exclaimed O' Flynn. Swallowing hard, he asked,"What could possibly be the good news?" The constable continued, "When we pulled the late, departed poor Maureen up, she had 12 of the best-looking Atlantic lobsters that you have ever seen clinging to her. Haven't seen lobsters like that since the 1960's, and we feel you are entitled to a share in the catch." Stunned, Mr. O' Flynn demanded, "Glory be to God, if that's the good news, then what's the really great news?" The constable replied, "We're gonna pull her up again tomorrow."

    (apologies if this has been posted before, can't search thread with 503's)

    Three men are outside Heaven’s gate waiting to be go to through Heaven. The angel at the gate tells them “depending on your time and faithfulness to your last partner decides your way across the bridge to Heaven”.

    The first guy says “I was with my wife for 5 years and cheated 3 times.” The angel gives him an old model pick up. The second guy says “11 years and only once” and is granted a Mercedes.

    The last man says “20 years and not once, I loved her with all my heart!” The angel was so impressed he gets a gold edition Lamborghini and sets off ahead of the other two men, smiling. Hours later the two men catch up to him crying behind the wheel and one says "I know we are dead but it could be much worse."

    The guy looks up and says “How?! I just went past my wife who was on a skateboard.”

    It was a flop.
