An Irish Drinking Joke

In this clip, Glendale Mayor Mike Dunafon admits that he loves jokes and then tells one about an Irishman that had a unique drinking tradition.

[@kclark6090]

An Irishman is walking along the beach at sunset. He looks ahead and sees a piece of metal sticking out of the sand glimmering in the sunlight. He digs it up, and to his surprise it is a magic lamp. "No way," he says. So he rubs it and sure enough, out pops the Genie of the Lamp!! The Genie tells him, "I will grant you three wishes, any three wishes you want." The Irishman thinks long and hard about this. He doesn't want to waste a wish. So finally he says, "I want a tall cold glass of Guinness that never goes dry." The Genie says,, "Your wish is my command!" And poof a tall cold glass of Guinness appears in the Irishman's hand. He says, "Wow, this is great!" He chugs it down, and vooop it fills back up again. "Unbelievable!" He chugs it down, and vooop it fills back up again. "This is amazing!" He chugs it down, and vooop it fills back up again. "I can't believe this!" He chugs it down, and vooop it fills back up again. By now the Genie is getting a little impatient, "What do you want for your other two wishes?" The Irishman points to his glass and replies, "I want two more of these!"

As an Irishman who lives in Ireland I have to tell you the story of a man from Dublin who decided he had spent too much time in the city and needed to explore the open countryside a bit more. He got into his car and after about thirty miles or so he came upon a very picturesque village and decided to have a walk about. To his surprise he saw a funeral hearse approach with a very grim faced man walking behind it with a big Irish wolfhound on a leash. And behind that he saw six men walking in a single file. The Dublin visitor approached the man with the wolfhound and asked who the deceased was. He replied "it's my wife" to which the visitor replied how she had died? The chief mourner answered that she had been mauled to death by the wolfhound. The visitor then asked if he could buy the wolfhound to which the chief mourner replied "join the queue"

A newly arrived inmate is confused on his first day in prison when he hears another inmate call out "Number 25!", which is then followed by laughter and chuckles from around the cellblock. A while later another inmate calls out, "Number 12!", again followed by laughter. This goes on throughout the day with various numbers being called out followed by snickers and guffaws. Finally he asks his cellmate, "What's with everyone laughing at numbers?" "They're jokes", says his roomie. "We assigned numbers to them so we don't have to recite them word for word. It's easier that way." Eventually the newcomer learns which numbers are for which jokes and then tries it out himself. "Number 32!", he yells out. No response. He makes another attempt, "Number 13!", followed again by silence. "What gives?" he asks the cellmate. "Oh well", he's told, "you know how it is, some people can tell a joke, and some people can't."

Paddy gets a job working for a lumberjack. On his first day, the foreman says to Paddy "when that tree begins to fall, shout TIMBER to warn anyone walking past. I don't want any accidents". The foreman gets out his chainsaw and starts cutting down the tree. The tree starts to fall and when it hits the ground, Paddy yells "TIMBER". The foreman looks down and sees dead bodies underneath the tree. The Foreman goes nuts "I thought I told you to shout timber when the tree was about to fall". Paddy points to the bodies and says " I thought you meant those TREE ".

The CEO's of Coors, Budweiser and Guinness were having their annual get together. They were sitting in the ancient and cavernous boardroom of the Guinness Brewery in Dublin. As they sat down at the old table made from ancient barrel staves a waiter appeared and asked them what they would like to drink. The CEO of Coors said: "I'll have a pint of Coors please... the world's most refreshing beer!" The CEO of Budweiser said: "I'll have a pint of Bud... the king of beers!" The CEO of Guinness: "I'll have a glass of water please." Astonished, the other two looked at him and asked why he was not going to have a pint of Guinness... and his reply was: "Well, if you two aren't going to drink beer then neither am I."

My favorite Irish Joke: Paddy walks into his Local on a Saturday afternoon, sits right up at the bar in his usual seat but, he's looking very sad this day. The barkeep says to him "Paddy, what seems to be the problem today, you're looking all forlorn and depressed.." Paddy says "I am just that and if you have a couple of minutes I'll tell you why." The barkeep says "For my most loyal of customers, I'm all ears." So Paddy looks out the back window of the pub and points to a boatdock out on the lake and says "Do ye see that boatdock? I built that dock with me own hands.. Cut down the trees with me favorite axe, planed the wood to a smooth finish, even made my own nails to hold it all together.." The bartender says "Aye Paddy, I've seen that boat dock in the worst storms we've had and it's strong as an ox.." and Paddy says "Aye, but, do you ever hear anyone in town saying "Hey, here comes Paddy the dock builder?".. "No Paddy, I can't say that I have." and paddy points out through the window that overlooks the road and says.. "Do ye see that stone wall out there?? I built that wall with me own hands, dug up every stone, cut them with my chisel so they would hold in place, never used a drop of mortar." and the barkeep says "Aye Paddy, I saw a car run right into that wall winter last and it totaled the car but, didn't knock any stones out of place.. A fine wall it is." and Paddy says "Aye, but do you ever hear anyone in town saying "Hey, here comes Paddy the Stone Mason.? and the bartender says "No Paddy, I can't say that I have.." and Paddy says "Ahh but, ye bugger one sheep.."

Two irish lads, Mick and Paddy, applying for a job at the local church for undertakers. The priest interviews Mick first and asks him "do ye have a spade"?. "Right here father" replies Mick holding up his spade. "good"! says the priest and he asks him his second question "Mick if you're a man of God, you'll be able to tell me the first man and woman on earth". "that'd be Adam and Eve" replies Mick. "fantastic, Youve got the job"! says the priest. Mick leaves the room to call paddy in for his interview. A nervous Paddy asks Mick "what were the questions". " he asked who the first man and woman on earth were" says Mick. "I'll never remember that"! shouts Paddy. Mick tries to calm him down and says "I'll write it on the side of yer shovel". The preist calls Paddy in and asks him, "Do you know who the fist man and woman on earth were"? Paddy sneaks a quick look at the side of his spade before telling him... "that's easy.... Spear and Jackson!"

Like you, I grew up in an Irish family with roots in this country to 1850. My father was a Trollyman and later a bus driver in CT. To make a long story short, after working for 48 years he retired and in his retirement never heard from any of his Irish friends and work mates. Well, in 1967 he passed away. The wake was held at an Irish funeral home in Hartford CT. When we arrived it was valet parking only and we figured that a very important person must have died as well. We were shocked to see that all of these people were there for my father. One by one the filed by our family with words like, a finer man never lived, Edward was the salt of the Earth, Edward will be missed by so many etc. Well after about 10 minutes of these glowing praises, my mother leaned over and whispered to me, "Go and see if that's your father in that box."

My Irish Catholic father from Dublin was a teatotaler. It may sound like an oxymoron but he was one. I asked him before he died why he wouldn't drink despite the reputation of Irish Catholics being heavy drinkers. He and his brothers heard Matthew Talbot give his life testimony as an alcoholic in Dublin. Dad and his two brothers took a temperance pledges as young men and kept their promise not to touch alcohol until their dying days. Alcohol is the curse of the Irish. They can't hold their liquor.

Guy goes into the pub, sits up at the bar and orders a beer. As he's sitting there he sees a giant glass jar filled with cash. So he asks the bartender "Wow, is that your tip jar?" The bartender replies "oh no, thats the jar for the contest." "what contest is that" the man asks. "Its $20 to try but, whoever completes the 3 tasks gets to keep all the money in the jar." "Well what are the 3 tasks?" he asks. "Task 1 is, ...see that great big guy at the end of the bar, ...you have to go down there and knock him out with 1 punch. Task 2 is, ...we have this mean old Rottweiler out back with a bad tooth, you have to go out there and pull his tooth out. And Task 3 is, ...we have this 90 year old woman who lives up stairs, who hasnt been fIIcked in 20 years, and you have to go up there and give it to her real hard." So the man says "Ok, I'll give it a try" So he puts a $20 bill in the jar and walks down to the end of the bar and winds up and sucker punches the big guy right off the stool and out cold. Then he walks behind the bar and out the back door, and the bartender hears a snarling, vicious, horrifying, ruckus from outside and a few minutes later the guy walks in completely disheveled, shirt torn, bloodied and scratched up, and says "Alright so wheres this old lady that needs her tooth pulled?!"

The publican delivers the three malt beverages at the exact same time, setting them each in front of the three men. At the exact time they are set down, an insect flies into each drink. The Englishman turns his nose in the air and pushes the beer away, demanding of the Barman a new beer. The Scotsman picks the fly out, tosses it away, and drinks the beer anyway. The Irishman pinches the insect out and shouts at the bug, “Spit it out, that’s my beer!”

True story: My father was in Ireland some years ago, and went for a walk in the countryside. He walked into a village, and there was a shop/newsagents/pub. The pub was connected to the shop/newsagents by an internal doorway, also having an outside door as well. My father bought a newspaper, then went into the pub. The man who'd just served my father followed him into the pub, and it turned out he was both the pub landlord and the shop proprietor. My father asked him for a pint of beer. "I'm sorry sir, I can't serve you, the bar won't be open for an hour." he said. "That's ok", my father replied, taking a seat, "I'll just read the paper in the meantime." "Well, would you like a beer while you're waiting?" Got to love the logic behind that.

Still Think You're Having A Bad Day? Article from the Miami Herald, June 1998 A man was working on his motorcycle on his patio while his wife worked in the kitchen. He was gunning the engine when the bike somehow lurched forward with the man still holding on. The bike crashed through the glass patio doors and ran into a wall, leaving the man cut and bruised on the living room floor. The man's wife called for an ambulance and then, since they lived on a fairly steep hill, went down several flights of stairs to direct the paramedics to her husband. After the ambulance arrived and transported her husband to the hospital, the woman up-righted the motorcycle and pushed it outside. Seeing that gasoline had spilled on the floor, the wife cleaned it up with paper towels, which she then threw in the toilet. The man was treated and released from the hospital. When he arrived home and saw the broken patio doors and damaged motorcycle, he became despondent and went into the bathroom and sat on the john to think for a while. He then lit a cigarette and tossed the match down between his legs into the toilet bowl. Yep, you guessed it. The wife heard the explosion and her husband screaming and ran in to find him lying face down with burns on his buttocks, the backs of his legs, and his groin. The paramedics loaded the man and started back down the stairs while the wife tried to explain what had happened. The paramedics got to laughing so hard that the one walking backwards lost his footing. The gurney tilted and the patient slid off and rolled the rest of the way down the stairs breaking his arm! Now, has your day really been all that bad?

A Scotsman in a kilt stoombles out of the bar one evening and walks up the street a little way before he realizes he close to fallin' down.. He's so drunk he slides down in the doorway of a closed business in hopes of sleepin' a bit of this one off before continuing home.. While he's snoozin' it off, a couple of young ladies walk by and see him fast asleep. One of the lovely young ladies asked her girlfriend if she thinks the rumor is true that a Scot in a kilt doesn't wear any underwear.. Her friend proclaimed that she didn't know and then suggested that they might sneak a look to see if it's true! They carefully lifted the kilt and peered under.. Then each girl with a smile could see that the rumor was completely true! The first girl said "I want to leave something for him to remember this occasion..", so, she removed a blue hair tie from her lovely long hair and tied it around his manly member! After that they quickly walked on about their business. An hour or so later, the now recovered Scot awoke and had to relieve himself quite badly. So he walked around the rear of the Pub and lifted his kilt to empty his bladder. To his surprise he sees the blue ribbon tied to his man unit.. With a laugh he loudly declared, 'I doon't know where ya been Lad, but I see ya won first prize!!'

There was one older one (we called him "Irish Mike" - for all I know that was his real name). He could not say a sentence without saying fuggin 20 times before it ended. The younger Conner and Cathel were characters too. They had a small flat together and one of their roomates fell down and hurt his leg. They called an ambulance and they went in and while they were attending to that Chathel took the ambulance for a joy ride siren blasting. We went to a strip club together and Conner and Cathel were up there undressing with the strippers. An American friend of theirs (and mine) lived with them and had a birthday. They got him drunk. He passed out and they hired a couple of gay prostitutes to come and strip next to him and took pictures. I would have killed them but they were a hoot. Love them.

Ireland Declared War on France Long ago, Jacques Chirac, The French President, was sitting in his office when his telephone rings. "Hallo, Mr. Chirac!" a heavily accented voice said. "This is Paddy down at the Harp Pub in County Clare, Ireland. I am ringing to inform you that we are officially declaring war on you!" "Well, Paddy," Chirac replied, "This is indeed important news! How big is your army?" "Right now," says Paddy, after a moment's calculation, "there is myself, me Cousin Sean, me next door neighbor Seamus, and the entire darts team from the pub. That makes eight!" Chirac paused. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 100,000 men in my army waiting to move on my command." "Begoora!" says Paddy. "I'll have to ring you back." Sure enough, the next day, Paddy calls again. "Mr. Chirac, the war is still on. We have managed to get us some infantry equipment!" "And what equipment would that be Paddy?" Chirac asks. "Well, we have two combines, a bulldozer, and Murphy's farm tractor." Chirac sighs amused. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 6,000 tanks and 5,000 armored personnel carriers. Also, I have increased my army to 150,000 since we last spoke." "Saints preserve us!" says Paddy. "I'll have to get back to you." Sure enough, Paddy rings again the next day. "Mr. Chirac, the war is still on! We have managed to get ourselves airborne! We have modified Jackie McLaughlin's ultra-light with a couple of shotguns in the cockpit, and four boys from the Shamrock Bar have joined us as well!" Chirac was silent for a minute and then cleared his throat. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 100 bombers and 200 fighter planes. My military bases are surrounded by laser-guided, surface-to-air missile sites. And since we last spoke, I have increased my army to 200,000!" "Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!" says Paddy, "I will have to ring you back." Sure enough, Paddy calls again the next day. "Top o' the mornin', Mr. Chirac! I am sorry to inform you that we have had to call off the war." "Really? I am sorry to hear that," says Chirac. "Why the sudden change of heart?" "Well," says Paddy, "we had a long chat over a few pints of Guinness, and decided there is no way we can feed 200,000 prisoners."

As an Irishman living in Ireland I reserve the right to tell the following Irish joke. A man was walking to his local pub for his usual evening drink. As he approached he saw a nun who began to hector him with "Tink before you drink. The demon drink is the work of the devil". The man gets a bit annoyed and decides to have a go at the nun by saying "Do you know what you're talking about. You've probably never had a drink so don't be hypocritical by shouting at us who do". The nun looked downcast and told the man that morally he was right. The man then said "Why don't you have a drink now and then you can return to your preaching". The nun said "Well I might try one. I hear women normally drink gin. Could you bring me out one in a cup as I don't want people to see me holding a glass". The man continued on into the bar and said to the barman "Could I have a pint of Guinness and a double gin in a cup". The barman replied "Is that bloody nun back again".

I noticed briefly Fiona walking by on the sidewalk pushing a double baby stroller and singing Irish lullabyes. I paid her no mind thinking she was earning side money by babysitting. After a second Guinness I stood up sharply for I noticed her coming around the complex again and she had two large cinderblocks neatly seatbelted into the carriage seats and to whom she was singing. I shouted to Andy in a panic. " For God's sake marry that woman NOW or you'll have to put her in an asylum!! " He calmly replied in his heavy brogue " Ye don't understand. Her sister's had twins back in Dublin and we're shipping the stroller to her as a gift. New items you pay a stiff duty on but used ones not. The customs men are sharp and can tell if you've filed or simple-scuffed the wheels. She's got about two more trips around. I'll grant ye that she's 'practicing' with the lullabyes though! "
