An Irishman, Englishman and a German are caught in Saudi Arabia
drinking. "Under Saudi law you are sentenced to 30 lashes then
deported. Before you begin you are entitled to something on you
back, what would you like?" said the prison guard to the
Englishman just before lashing him. The English man, being a bit
of a cricket fan, asked for linseed oil. When they lashed him on
a post and let him go to catch his flight back to London he
groaned and crawled to the airport. Next came the German. "Under
Saudi law you are sentenced to 30 lashes then deported. Before
you begin you are entitled to something on you back, what would
you like?" said the prison guard "Nothing" said the German and,
after receiving his lashes spat on the ground, called the prison
guards Schisers and started off towards the airport. The guards
then came to the Irishman. "Under Saudi law you are sentenced to
30 lashes then deported. Before you begin you are entitled to
something on you back, what would you like?" "Oh", replied the
Irishman, "I'll take the German".
An Irish man walks into a pub. The bartender asks him, "what'll
you have?" The man says, "Give me three pints of Guinness
please."
So the bartender brings him three pints and the man proceeds to
alternately sip one, then the other, then the third until
they're gone. He then orders three more.
The bartender says, "Sir, I know you like them cold. You don't
have to order three at a time. I can keep an eye on it and when
you get low I'll bring you a fresh cold one."
The man says, "You don't understand. I have two brothers, one in
Australia and one in the States. We made a vow to each other
that every Saturday night we'd still drink together. So right
now, my brothers have three Guinness Stouts too, and we're
drinking together.
The bartender thought that was a wonderful tradition.
Every week the man came in and ordered three beers. Then one
week he came in and ordered only two. He drank them and then
ordered two more.
The bartender said to him, "I know what your tradition is, and
I'd just like to say that I'm sorry that one of your brothers
died."
The man said, "Oh, me brothers are fine - I just quit drinking."
The local District Judge had given the defendant a lecture on
the evils of drink. But in view of the fact that this was the
first time the man had been drunk and incapable, the case was
dismissed on payment of ten shillings costs. "Now don't let me
ever see your face again," said the Justice sternly as the
defendant turned to go. "I'm afraid I can't promise that, sir,"
said the released man. "And why not?" Because I'm the barman at
your regular pub!

The Irishman combed the site for an hour and was nearly ready to give up when he spotted his ticket in. Seizing a roll of barbed wire, he presented himself at the gate and announced, "O'Sullivan, fencing."

says, "Hey man, I hear your St. Patrick was a faggot." The Irishman

seat perplexed, when his friend jumps up and says, "Here, lemme try
that." So he goes over to the Irishman and says, "Hey man, I hear your
St. Patrick was a transvestite faggot!" The Irishman only replies,
"Oh, is that so now?" So the Englishman, frustrated goes and sits down
with his friends. When the 3rd Englishman jumps up and says, "Well, now, I

An
English man and an Irish man are driving head on , at night, on a twisty, dark
road. Both are driving to fast for the conditions and collide
on a sharp bend in
the road. To the amazement of both, they are unscathed, though their cars are
both destroyed. In celebration of their luck, both agree to put aside their
dislike for the other from that moment on. At this point, the Irish man goes to
the boot and fetches a 12 year old bottle of Jameson whiskey. He hands the
bottle to the English man, whom exclaims,'' may the English and the Irish live
together forever, in peace, and harmony.'' The English man then tips the
bottle and lashes half of it down. Still flabbergasted over the whole thing, he
goes to hand the bottle to the Irish man, whom replies: '' no tanks, I'll just
wait till the Garda get here!''
