Luck of the Irish
Mrs. Donovan was walking down O'Connell Street in Dublin when she met Father Flaherty.
The padre said, "Top o' the mornin' to ye! Aren't ye Mrs. Donovan, and didn't I marry ye and your husband not two years ago?"
She replied, "Aye, that ye did, Father."
The Father asked, "And have ye been blessed with any wee ones yet?"
She replied, "No, not yet, Father."
The Father said, "Well, now, I'm goin' to Rome next week, I'll light a candle for ye and your husband."
She replied, "Oh, thank ye Father."
They then parted ways.
Some years later, they met again.
The Father asked, "Well now, Mrs. Donovan, how are ye these days?"
She replied, "Oh, very well, Father!"
The Father asked, "And tell me, have ye been blessed with any wee ones yet?"
She replied, "Oh yes, Father! T'ree sets o' twins and four singles - 10 in all!"
The Father said, "That's wonderful! How is your husband doing?"
She replied, "E's gone to Rome to blow out yer fookin' candle."

Tunnel Slapper
Sitting together on a train travelling through the Swiss Alps, were a Kiwi guy, an Australian bloke, a little old Greek lady, and a young blonde Swiss girl with large breasts.
The train goes into a dark tunnel and a few seconds later there is the sound of a loud slap.
When the train emerges from the tunnel, the Kiwi has a bright red hand-print on his cheek.
No one speaks.
The old lady thinks:
The Kiwi guy must have groped the blonde in the dark, and she slapped his cheek.
The blonde Swiss girl thinks:
That Kiwi guy must have tried to grope me in the dark but missed, fondled the old lady and she slapped his cheek.
The Kiwi thinks:
The Australian bloke must have groped the blonde in the dark. She tried to slap him but missed and got me instead.
The Australian thinks:
I can't wait for another tunnel, just so I can smack the Kiwi again.

Brain Transplant
An Israeli doctor says "Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him looking for work in six weeks."
A German doctor says "That is nothing; we can take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him looking for work in four weeks."
A Russian doctor says "In my country, medicine is so advanced that we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have them both looking for work in two weeks."
An Texan doctor, not to be outdone, says "You guys are way behind, we recently took a man with no brains out of Texas, put him in the White House for eight years, and now half the country is looking for work."
