One day, Paddy Irishman, Paddy Englishman, andPaddy Scotsman walked into a pub together. Theyproceeded to each buy a pint of Guinness.Just as they were about to enjoy their creamybeverage, three flies landed in each of their pintsand got stuck in the thick head.Paddy Englishman pushed his beer away from himin disgust.Paddy Scotsman fished the offending fly out of hisbeer and continued drinking it as if nothing hadhappened.The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink,held it out over the beer and then started yelling:"AH YOU LITTLE THIEF! SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT!"

Five Scotsmen in an Audi Quattro arrived at anIrish border checkpoint. Paddy the officer stopsthem and tells them: "It is illegal to put 5 people ina Quattro, Quattro means four.""Quattro is just the name of the automobile," theScotsmen retorts in disbelief. "Look at the papers:this car is designed to carry five persons.""You can not pull that one on me," replies Paddy"Quattro means four. You have five people in yourcar and you are therefore breaking the law."The Scotsmen replies angrily, "You idiot! Call yoursupervisor over. I want to speak to someone withmore intelligence!""Sorry," responds Paddy, "Murphy is busy with 2guys in a Fiat Uno."

An Irish priest is driving down to New York and getsstopped for speeding in Connecticut. The state troopersmells alcohol on the priest's breath and then sees anempty wine bottle on the floor of the car.He says, "Sir, have you been drinking?" "Just water,"says the priest.The trooper says, "Then why do I smell wine?"The priest looks at the bottle and says, "Good Lord! He'sdone it again!"

A guy in the locker room saw another guy with apiece of cork up his butt.''Why do you have a cork up your butt?''''Well, it's a long story. But one day I was walkingon the beach and I tripped over a bottle and wokeup a genie who said he would grant me one wish. Isaid, 'No shit!'''

FINALLY, the guys' side of the story.We always hear 'the rules' from the female side.Now here are the rules from the male side:These are our rules!Please note. These are all numbered #1 on purpose!1. Men are not mind readers.1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it'sup, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. Youdon't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.1. Crying is blackmail.1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one:Subtle hints do not work!Strong hints do not work!Obvious hints do not work!Just say it!1. Yes and no are perfectly acceptable answers toalmost every question.1.. Come to us with a problem only if you want helpsolving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what yourgirlfriends are for.1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in anargument. In fact, all comments become null and voidafter 7 days.1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.1. If something we said can be interpreted two waysand one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meantthe other one.1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us howyou want it done. Not both. If you already know besthow to do it, just do it yourself.1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have tosay during commercials.1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions andneither do we.1. All men see in only 16 colors, like windows defaultsettings..Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color.Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.1. If we ask what is wrong and you say 'nothing,' wewill act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying,but it is just not worth the hassle.1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to,expect an answer you don't want to hear..1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anythingyou wear is fine...really.1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless youare prepared to discuss such topics as football or motorsports.1. You have enough clothes.1. You have too many shoes.1. I am in shape. Round is a shape!1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, i know, i have tosleep on the couch tonight.. But did you know menreally don't mind that? It's like camping...

WHAT DO YOU CALL A POPE WHO RESIGNS????

A Baptist pastor was presenting a children'ssermon. During the sermon, he asked the childrenif they knew what the resurrection was. Now,asking questions during children's sermons iscrucial, but at the same time, asking childrenquestions in front of a congregation can also bevery dangerous.Having asked the children if they knew themeaning of the resurrection, a little boy raised hishand. The pastor called on him and the little boysaid, "I know that if you have a resurrection thatlasts more than four hours you are supposed tocall the doctor."It took over ten minutes for the congregation tosettle down enough from their laughter for theworship service to be continued.

1. WILL THE REAL DUMMY PLEASE STAND UP?AT&T fired President John Walter after ninemonths, saying he lacked intellectual leadership.He received a $26 million severance package.Perhaps it's not Walter who's lacking intelligence.2. WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM OUR FRIENDS.Police in Oakland , CA spent two hoursattempting to subdue a gunman who hadbarricaded himself inside his home. After firingten tear gas canisters, officers discovered that theman was standing beside them in the police line,shouting, 'Please come out and give yourself up.'3. WHAT WAS PLAN B???An Illinois man, pretending to have a gun,kidnapped a motorist and forced him to drive totwo different automated teller machines, whereinthe kidnapper proceeded to withdraw moneyfrom his own bank accounts!4. THE GETAWAY!A man walked into a Topeka , Kansas Kwik Stopand asked for all the money in the cash drawer.Apparently, the take was too small, so he tied upthe store clerk and worked the counter himself forthree hours until police showed up and grabbedhim.5. DID I SAY THAT???Police in Los Angeles had good luck with arobbery suspect who just couldn't control himselfduring a lineup. When detectives asked each manin the lineup to repeat the words: 'Give me allyour money or I'll shoot', the man shouted, 'That'snot what I said!'

MemoryWhile on a road trip, an elderly couple stopped at aroadside restaurant for lunch. After finishing theirmeal, they left the restaurant and resumed theirtrip.When leaving, the elderly woman unknowingly lefther glasses on the table. And she didn't miss themuntil after they had been driving about twentyminutes. By then, they had to travel quite adistance before they could find a place to turnaround in order to return to the restaurant toretrieve her glasses.All the way back, the elderly husband fussed andcomplained and scolded his wife relentlessly. Themore he chided her, the more agitated he became.He just wouldn't let up one minute.To her relief, they finally arrived at the restaurantand as the woman got out of the car and hurriedinside to retrieve her glasses, the old geezer yelledto her, "While you're in there, you might as wellget my hat."

Now several weeksafter the accident, he is trying to sue my client. Ibelieve he is a fraud. Please tell him to simplyanswer the question.'By this time, the Judge was fairly interested inPaddy's answer and said to the solicitor: 'I'd like tohear what he has to say about his favourite cow,Bessie'.Paddy thanked the Judge and proceeded: 'Well as Iwas saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my fav'ritcow, into de trailer and was drivin' her down deroad when this huge Eversweet truck and trailercame tundering tru a stop sign and hit me trailerright in da side.

A horse and a chicken are playing in a meadow.The horse falls into a mud hole and is sinking. Hecalls to the chicken to go and get the farmer tohelp pull him out to safety.The chicken runs to the farm but the farmer can'tbe found. So he drives the farmer's Porsche backto the mud hole and ties some rope around thebumper. He then throws the other end of the ropeto his friend, the horse, and drives the car forwardsaving him from sinking!A few days later, the chicken and horse wereplaying in the meadow again and the chicken fellinto the mud hole. The chicken yelled to the horseto go and get some help from the farmer.The horse said, 'I think I can stand over the hole!'So he stretched over the width of the hole andsaid, 'Grab for my 'thingy' and pull yourself up.'And the chicken did and pulled himself to safety.The moral of the story:If you are hung like a horse, you don't need aPorsche to pick up chicks
