An Irishman who was running late for giving away his daughter- Prays- Lord if you'd find it in your mercy to have a parking spot for me near the church- Ill give up drinkin, and just as he says it, a car backs out of a parking spot right near the front door. The irishman says- Nevermind Lord, I found one !

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!"

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."

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."

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"

Mine is a bit risque. True story. My mother's father immigrated to America from Germany. My father's family was of english, irish, and scottish ancestry. One day, driving around and shopping, my wife was looking at a catalog called Cash's of Ireland. Knick-knacks, jewelry, assorted stuff that give tribute to Ireland. She is of purely german ancestry. She said, "I wish I had some irish in me." In my best irish accent, I replied, "Aye, lass, do you want some, then?" She punched me in the arm and I knew my work was done.

Irish fella in the pub, his mobile phone rang, he answered it and said "How did you know i was here"?

An Irishman, an Italian and a Jew walk into a bar. The bartender looks up and says “Is this a joke?”

I met my wife when she was a whiskey maker in Dublin. I love her still.

I love that. One of my favourites is a tourist in Ireland asks a local for directions to somewhere. The local thinks about it for a moment and says "Well I wouldn't start from here".

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.."

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."

I remember my old dad, who was a true Irish man from Kerry, falling down the stairs with a whole crate of Guinness and never spilled a drop. He kept his mouth shut.

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!"

Paddy and Mike were walking down the road. Paddy asks “I haven’t seen Shawn lately, have you? Mike replies, “Shawn saw a sign that said ‘Drink Canada Dry’. So he went!”

I love the Irish. They have such a talent for self depreciating humour. Long may it continue.

An Irishman had an accident in a major city. He ran into the rear of the car in front of him. While he waited for the police, he decided to take a sip out of his flask. When the cops arrived they opened his car door and he fell right out onto the street. One officer looked at him and said, “Why are you driving in this condition?”. He responded with, “Well, I was too drunk to walk”.

"Pubs, the official sunblock in Ireland!"

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. But then, who can?

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?!"

Paddy and Seamus were walking down a country lane when Paddy spots two sticks of dynamite on the floor, he picks them up and puts them in his pocket, and he says to Seamus " I'll hand these into the police"..

A man stumbles up to the only other patron in a bar and asks if he could buy him a drink. "Why of course," comes the reply. The first man then asks: "Where are you from?" "I'm from Ireland," replies the second man. The first man responds: "You don't say, I'm from Ireland too! Let's have another round to Ireland." "Of course," replies the second man. I'm curious, the first man then asks: "Where in Ireland are you from?" "Dublin," comes the reply. "I can't believe it," says the first man. "I'm from Dublin too! Let's have another drink to Dublin." "Of course," replies the second man. Curiosity again strikes and the first man asks: "What school did you go to?" "Saint Vincent's," replies the second man, "I graduated in '62." "This is unbelievable!", the first man says. "I went to Saint Vincent's and I graduated in '62, too!" About that time in comes one of the regulars and sits down at the bar. "What's been going on?" he asks the bartender. "Nothing much," replies the bartender. "The O'Malley twins are drunk again."

Englishman, "why do you Irish always answer a question with a question?" Irishman, "who told you that?"

I’ve a joke- that is obviously fiction but smacks with a grain of truth- told to me by my Irish father-in-law... an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman go into a local together (right off that’s how you know it’s fictitious) and each order a pint at the exact same time. 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.

An old Irishman walks into a Irish pub in New York City and sits next to another old Irishman. he says "Barkeep, a shot of Jamison's".

Visiting County Kerry seeking a long lost relative, an English couple, themselves now lost near Tralee, negotiate a lengthy driveway through three gates to a home on the hillside to ask directions. Lady answers door all smiles. "Would you know where Maurice O'Reilly lives, please?" "Oh no dear, I'm sorry I don't." So back down the driveway and while closing the last gate, look back to see the farmer's wife waving them back. So up to the house again where the Irish lady announces helpfully, "I've been asking my husband and he doesn't know either!"

In America you can always tell when you are in an Irish Pub, the stools all have safety belts on them.

Mayor, uncle Larry Joyce was always good for an Irish joke. You brought tears to my eyes.

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'll shorten this.... Paddy goes onto a jewellers and asks for a potato clock, jeweller says he has all sorts of clocks but never heard of a potato clock, what is it? he asks. Paddy says I'm not sure myself, I'm starting a new job Monday and yer man says I have to get a potato clock.

I've heard this joke before, but never delivered like this. You made me laugh a good hardy almost spill my coffee laugh.

Thank you for the laughs; in this time of trouble, they are sorely needed, and much appreciated.

It IS funny sir-thank you. The wife and I just got back from Ireland. We love it, very nice, and down to earth people. We even made it up to Belfast to see the Titanic Exhibition. Thanks again.

Whenever an Irishman is in a pub and he falls on the floor, sure it's a blessing, he finally knows where he is going!

Not what many would consider to be a "knee-slapper" simply because they just don't understand. Not their fault. But I understand. Your joke was very good, Mike, brought back some good memories of my Father, a Boston Police Officer and I had a good laugh too. And for that, I am grateful. Paul, Jamaica Plain.

How do you confuse an Irishman? Put three shovels against a wall and tell him to take his pick :)

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?

"Dormant and insidious hatred of self"...boy's a poet.

Yes that’s a good one and I love how he tells it. Being of Irish descent I happen to know a few myself.

Knock at the door one evening. The wife answers it. "Mrs. Murphy. Paddy fell into one of the vats down at the brewery...and he's drowned!" She says, "Oh, saints be. I'll be betting he suffered something terrible, eh? The gent says, " Well, no missus, I wouldn't exactly say he suffered. He got out twice to go to the bathroom."

At a convent in Ireland, the old Mother Superior was dying. Every evening all the young nuns would gather round her bed as she drank a glass of milk. They were hoping she would gain enough strength to give them some final words of wisdom. One of the young nun's father was a great maker of Poitín (Irish moonshine). He always claimed that it had marvelous medicinal properties. She got her father to send her a wee jug of this elixer. That night the young nun poured some of the Poitín in the Mother Superior's evening glass of milk. Mother Superior takes a sip and a little color comes into her cheeks. Another sip and sparkle comes to her eyes. She finishes the glass and sits up in bed. The nuns say praise be, it's a miracle. We were afraid you'd leave us without your final words of wisdom. The Mother Superior says, "don't sell that bloody cow".

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."

Ya know what Irish Amnesia is? You forget everything but a grudge.

Just what I needed. A good laugh.

I've heard that joke before. It was told differently. Much shorter. And the two brothers were in the service still, he got out and promised his war buddies he would have two drinks for them till they got home. You know the rest! 😁👍

It's a little known fact that thousands of irish migrants were used in the building of the transcontinental railroad until they discovered that steel rails were much more durable.....

Enjoyed it thank you. Wonderful ending. You nailed it home run.

As an old lady in Jack Meade's in Wexford once told me "You remind me of somebody I don't know!"

I love that joke. I've been telling it for years and it always gets the biggest laugh from the Irish. Here's a not politcally correct one. A guy is sitting in a bar and in walk two rather large women. He notices they have an interesting accent. He approaches and ask "are you ladies from Ireland. They glare at him and say, "it's Wales, dumbo". He apologizes for his mistake and asks, "are you whales from Ireland?" He can't remember anything after that.

Oldest Joke on the planet: describe an Irish 7-course meal? A baked potato and a six-pack

An Irish girl says to her mother. "Mam I'm pregnant". And her mam says"are ya sure it's yours"? 🤣

'When you can still keep your balance lying on your back holding the leg of a bar stool you are not drunk'

An Irishman walked into a bar with a steering wheel for a belt buckle. He bellied up the the bar to order his pint when the bartender asked him if he knew he had a steering wheel attached to him. The Irishman replied "yes I know, it's driving me nuts!"

How many Irish folk singers does it take to change a light bulb??? Only 2 I’d them! One to actually change the bulb and the other to write a song about just how good the old one was :-)

"What's an Irishman's favorite drink? His next one

Not a joke but a true story that gives you an idea of an irishman's notion of drinking. I worked at a large corporation with a factory in Galway in Ireland. The regular taxi driver Sean who would ferry is from the airport was a dedicated alcoholic. He was massively obese and bloated. On the way to the airport on Friday he proudly announces to me that he is officially on the wagon. So I tell him that it's great that he has given up the drink. at this point he clarifies that on the wagon to him means giving up Guinness and only drinking Harp. That's an Irishman.

A teacher tells her primary school class that they will be learning about Robin Hood today and asks if anyone knows anything about him. So Johnny puts his hand up saying. "He was from Nottingham Miss". "Very good" the teacher tells him "And anyone else"? she asks Then Davey pipes up with. "He used to rob from the rich and give to the poor Miss". "That's right" she tells him "Anything else"? So wee Seamus puts his hand up and says. "Da girlfriend was called Trudie Glenn Miss". "Er no Seamus, that was Maid Marian" she tells him "But where did you get Trudie Glenn from"? she asks "From da song Miss dat goes Robin Hood, Robin Hood riding Trudie Glenn"!

I am an Irish man 37 and he is right we do love to laugh at ourselves, funny joke, I thought the punchline was going to be "I'm the designated driver" but designated drivers in Éire are taxi drivers

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!!'
