Paddy came to Dublin for a few days and decided to have a haircut. He went to the salon and asked: "How much is a haircut?" "Haircuts start at fifteen pounds." Wow! he thought, I didn't expect it to be that much. "What about a shave?" he asked. "That would be five pounds." Paddy sat down on the chair. "Shave my head then," He said.
When Gas was introduced, a Dubliner told her friend what an improvement it was over thecoal range. " I lit it two weeks ago and it hasn't gone out yet."

Paddy Was driving his lorry when he saw a bridge with a sign saying 10 foot max. headroom. He slowed down wondering if he could drive under it or not , 'A shure I'll give it a go, he thought only to find that his lorry got stuck underneath it. Paddy sat back in his seat, poured out a cup of tea and lit a cigarette. A policeman arrived a short time later and knocked on the cab door which Paddy then opened, 'what do you think you are doing? asked the policeman in a sharp tone, 'Sure I'm having me tea break, replied Paddy, 'And what do you work at? asked the policeman, 'Agh shure I deliver bridges,! smiled Paddy!
Paddy was driving along the road one
fine day
when the local policeman, a friend of his, pulled him
over.
"What's wrong, Seamus?" Paddy asked.
"Well didn't ya know,
Paddy,

Seamus.
"Ah, praise the Almighty!" Paddy replied with relief. "I thought I'd
gone deaf!"

Murphy found an old
bottle while walking along the beach. As he picks it up to see if there's any
whiskey in it, a Genie pops out and offers him three wishes. First he wishes for
a bottle of Irish Whiskey that never runs dry. Suddenly, a bottle appears in his
hands. He pops the cork and downs the entire bottle. But low and behold, it
fills back up in front of his eyes. He tries it again and again. Each time it
fills back up with good Irish Whiskey. The Genie asks what he wants for his
other two wishes.
"Well," he said, "I'd like two more of these
bottles!"

'It wasn't bad,' he said grudgingly, ' but I see your back to two slices again.'
