One less drunk!

Don't know if there is a joke thread somewhere, but it would be good to laugh once in awhile. Afterall the Big Book states we are not a glum bunch I believe.

Murphy told Quinn that his wife was driving him to drink. Quinn thinks he's very lucky because his own wife makes him walk !!

And,

When the Irish say that St. Patrick chased the snakes out of Ireland, what they don't tell you is that he was the only one who saw any snakes!

Poor Murphy......fell in the mixing vat while touring the brewery.....he fought off his rescuers bravely .......... at least he died with a smile on his face. They had him cremated but it took them days to put out the fire.......

"T''was the Irish what invented the pipes, you know, and they gave them to the Scots as a joke. And you Scots have'nt gotten the joke yet!!"

We've got our own recipe for Irish stew:
Get some meat, some potatoes and a lot of Guinness Stout.
Drink all of the stout.
Forget about the stew.

Paddy was swiming the English channel, got half way and couldn't make it so he swam back.

Two drunks coming home, stumbled up the country road in the dark. "Faith, Mike, we've stumbled into the graveyard and here's the stone of a man lived to the age of 103!" "Glory be, Patrick and was it anybody we knew?" "No, 'twas someone named 'Miles from Dublin'!"

Q: What is black and blue and found floating up sidedown in the Irish sea?

A: Someone who's tells a stupid Irish joke
