Patrick O'Malley hoisted his beer and said: "Here's to spending the rest of me life between the legs of me wife!" - and he took home the top prize for the best toast of the night.
In bed later that night, he told his wife: "Mary, I won the prize for the best toast of the night." She said, "Aye, Paddy, what was your toast?"
So he told her: "Here's to spending the rest of me life sitting in church beside me wife."
"Oh," she said, "that is very nice, dear."
The next day, Mary ran into one of Paddy's drinking partners in the street. Mischievously, the man said: "Did you hear about your husband winning a prize in the pub the other night for a toast about you, Mary?"
She replied: "Aye - and I was a bit surprised. Till now, he's only been down there twice. Once he fell asleep, and the other time I had to pull him by the ears to make him come".

The two lads look at each other blankly and stare back at him.
'Excusez-moi, parlez vous Français ?' he tries.
The two continue to stare.
'Parlare Italiano?' Still absolutely no response from the two lads.
'Hablan ustedes Espanol?' The Dublin lads remain totally silent.
The Swiss guy walks off extremely disappointed and downhearted that he had not been understood. One of the boys turns to the second and says, 'Y'know, maybe we should learn a foreign language!'

Paddy Murphy replies, 'Oh................... I had to go to the pub down the street to see if I could do it first.'

An American tourist travelling in County Clare, Ireland came across a little antique shop in which he was lucky enough to pick up, for a mere 200 Irish punts ($350), the skull of Brian Boru*.
Included in the price was a certificate of the skull's authenticity, signed by Brian Boru himself.
Fifteen years later the tourist returned to Ireland and asked the man from Clare, who owned the antique shop, if he had any more bargains.
'I've got the very thing for you, 'said the shopkeeper, 'It's the genuine skull of Brian Boru.'
'You cheat, 'exploded the American, 'You sold me that fifteen years ago, 'and producing the skull added loudly, 'Look, they're not even the same size.'
'You have got it wrong, 'opined the seller, '' This is the skull of Brian Boru when he was a lad.'
* Brian Boru (940 to 1014) managed the rare feat of uniting Ireland. In a turning point in the war with the Vikings, Brian Boru defeated the Viking leader Ivar in single combat. Not only was Brian successful in battle, but he also had at least 4 wives and founded the O' Brien clan.

I first met O'Reilly when I was in St Peter's Hospital, Chertsey, England. He was in the same ward as me and was lying, quite still, in the bed next to me when I awoke early on that Friday morning.
I was taken aback because he was swathed in bandages from head to toe, with just two little slits for his eyes and this made it difficult to engage him in conversation.
However, later that same day, his best friend, Dermot Callaghan, came in to visit O'Reilly and I listened in to their conversation which went as follows:
'What happened to you?' asked Callaghan.
'I staggered out of The Invincible pub, in Shepperton Road, and a lorry hit me a glancing blow and knocked me through the Co-op's plate glass window,' mumbled O'Reilly.'
'Begorrah,' exclaimed Callaghan in his broad Munster accent, 'It's a good job you were wearing all those bandages or you'd have been cut to ribbons!'

There was an Irish man standing on the dock, with the others waiting for the boat to come. A sweet Irish Lassie came and stood beside him and asked.
"What brings you to the port today?'
To which the man replied. "Oh, I'm waiting for me brudder. Me brudder is coming in today."
"How lovely." She replied.
"Yep," he continued. "I will not know me brudder." He continued sadly.
"And why not?" The lassie asked curiously. "Why would you not know yer own brudder?"
"Aye, me brudder left 20 year ago, and I will not know me brudder." He answered.
"Oh my, how will you know when yer brudder gets off the ship?"
"Ohh, I'll not be worrying about that dear Lassie, me brudder will know me."
"How can you be so sure yer brudder will know you, if you won't know yer brudder?" She asked confused.
"Because I never left." He said with a grin.

An Irish man is sitting in a boat, and it's a small boat that sprung a leak, and it's sinking fast.
A boat of a little larger size comes along, and the captain shouts out. "Come on, hop over, yer boat's sinking."
The Irish man sat quietly, contemplating the matter. After a moment he looks over at the Captain and shakes his head. "No tanks, the Lord's gonna save me."
After trying his best the Captain gave up, and sadly left the poor Irish man to sit in his sinking boat.
After a while, another more larger boat than the last came along and the Captain shouted out. "Yer boats sinking, hurry up and climb aboard."
The Irish man folded his arms firmly. "No tanks, I'm waiting for the Lord, he's gonna save me."
"It'll be your funeral lass if you don't hop in my boat."
"So much yew know, I believe in the Lord, and I'm staying right here until the Lord himself saves me."
The stubborn Irish man turned down a steam liner, with sailors trying to thrown him a line, and eventually his boat sank and he drowned.
Now at the pearly white gates stood a hopping angry Irish man, and he looked the Lord straight in the eye and said.
"Lord, what did I ever do all me forsaken life, to deserve such a wreched death? I believed in ya, I waited for ye to save me.. but ya didn't?"
The Lord looked down at his loyal Irish man and frowned. "I sent you two boats, and an ocean steamer, what more did yew want?"

The old boy then said, 'I'm sure it is and I'm so sure that I will bet you a pint if I am wrong'. The doubting one said, 'Ok' and they both went over to Red and the one said, 'Are you Red Adair'? to which Red said he was.
The doubting Irishman said, 'Are you still dancing with Ginger Rogers'?
