With the Holidays upon us I would like to share a personal experience with my friends about drinking and driving.

As you may know some of us have been known to have brushes with the authorities from time to time on the way home after a "social session" out with friends. Well, two days ago I was out for an evening with friends and had several cocktails followed by some rather nice red wine. Feeling jolly I still had the sense to know that I may be slightly over the limit.
That's when I did something that I've never done before - I took a cab home. Sure enough on the way home there was a police road block, but since it was a cab they waved it past. I arrived home safely without incident.
This was a real surprise as I had never driven a cab before, I don't know where I got it and now that it's in my garage I don't know what to do with it.
 
In memory of my late Uncle John Tatum, whose sense of humor lives on. Johnny was my favorite uncle for lots of reasons, not the least of which was that he was my original employer, assembling toys for the Super-D department store he managed. I had just turned 12 that year, and have worked ever since in some fashion.

A clerk was working the 2nd floor of a department store. He felt a tug on his arm, and heard an elderly woman say. “I wanna go downstairs on that escalator”.


He told her it was broken, she told him to fix it and turn it back on. He told her he couldn't, but she could use the elevator in the corner. She said “I don’t wanna walk over there to it.” After a few more minutes of this, the clerk finally said,


“Ma’am, there's three ways to get downstairs. You can stake the stairs, the elevator, or f-ing jump!”
 
An Irishman's first drink with his son:


"While reading an article last night about fathers and the sons, memories came flooding back to the time I took me son out for his first pint.

"Off we went to our local pub only two blocks from the cottage.

"I got him a Guinness. He didn't like it, so I drank it

"Then I got him a Kilkenny's, he didn't like that either, so I drank it. Finally, I thought he might like some Harp Lager?

"He didn't. I drank it.

"I thought maybe he'd like whisky better than beer so we tried a Jameson's; nope!

"In desperation, I had him try that rare Redbreast , Ireland 's finest whisky.

"He wouldn't even smell it.

"What could I do but drink it!


"By the time I realized he just didn't like to drink, I was so s**-faced I could hardly push his stroller back home!"



Irish Confession:

"I went into the confessional box after many years of being away from the Catholic Church.

"Inside I found a fully equipped bar with Guinness on tap. On one wall, there was a row of decanters with fine Irish whiskey and Waterford crystal glasses.

"On the other wall was a dazzling array of the finest cigars and chocolates.

"When the priest came in, I said to him, ‘Father, forgive me, for it's been a very long time since I've been to confession, but I must first admit that the confessional box is much more inviting than it used to be.'"


He replied, "You moron, you're on my side."



Some Light Dublin Traffic Humor

A car full of Irish nuns is sitting at a traffic light in downtown Dublin when a bunch of rowdy drunks pull up alongside of them.

"Hey, show us yer teets, ya bloody penguins." shouts one of the drunks. Quite shocked, Mother Superior turns to Sister Mary Immaculata and says, "I don't think they know who we are; show them your cross."


Sister Mary Immaculata rolls down her window and shouts, "Piss off, ya fookin' little wankers, before I come over there and rip yer balls off." She then rolls up her window, looks back at Mother Superior quite innocently, and asks, "Did that sound cross enough?"



AN IRISH BLONDE IN A CASINO:

An attractive blonde from Cork, Ireland arrived at the casino. She seemed a little intoxicated and bet twenty-thousand Euros on a single roll of the dice.

She said, "I hope you don't mind, but I feel much luckier when I'm completely naked."

With that, she stripped from the neck down, rolled the dice and with an Irish brogue yelled, "Come on, baby, Mama needs new clothes!"

As the dice came to a stop, she jumped up and down and squealed: "YES! YES! I WON, I WON!"

She hugged each of the dealers and then picked up her winnings (and her clothes) and quickly departed.

The dealers stared at each other dumbfounded. Finally, one of them asked, “What did she roll?"

The other answered, "I don't know - I thought you were watching the dice."

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Not all Irish are drunks. Not all blondes are dumb.
But all men....are men.

As a descendant of Irish immigrants, I should be offended at some of this “drunken Irish” stereotyping. But it’s hard to be offended when you’re laughing (the one about the nuns is a hoot).

Ditto.
And, for me, 1st place was a tie - the one about the nuns, and the Paddy and Mick grenade story. :)
 
Mick and Paddy are out in a boat on a lake, fishing. They haven't caught a single fish all day.
Then, Mick hooks something very heavy, and Paddy has to help him get it in the boat. It falls with a thud to the floor of the boat.
Paddy picks it up, it's covered with mud, he wipes it clean.
It's a bottle of very old Irish whisky, with a cork in it.
Mick says to Paddy, "I caught the thing, I'll uncork it."
So he does, and a genie floats out of it, and looks down at the two of them. It speaks.
"Boys, I've been in the bottom of this lake for 200 years. Now I'll grant ya each anything ya want."
Mick says, "Paddy, you can go first."
Paddy thinks for a second and says, "Genie, I want ya ta turn this whole lake into beer!"
So, Genie obliges.
Mick looks at Paddy, shaking his tousled head, and says,
"Paddy, ya daft fool, now we hafta pee in the boat!"
 
My memory is shot. I can't remember if this has already been posted here. But at least I remembered the joke.

A rabbi, a Hindu priest, and Donald Trump were traveling together across the country. Late into the evening, the car ran out of good old American gasoline.
They spotted a farmhouse nearby, so off they trekked. They approached it and knocked on the door. A farmer answered the door. They asked for shelter for the night. The farmer said “Well, look, I’ve only got rooms for two people, so one of you will have to sleep in the barn.”
The Hindu priest offered first, saying he was trying to be more humble. So off he went. A few minutes later, he knocked on the farmer's door. The farmer said “What’s wrong?” There’s a cow in the barn, and cows are sacred, and it is very bad to fall asleep in the presence of a cow”. So, the farmer let him in, so someone else had to go sleep in the barn.
The rabbi, being a very generous man, offered, and off he went. He soon returned to knock on the farmer’s door. The farmer asked “What’s wrong?” The rabbi said, “There’s a pig in the barn also, and since pigs are unclean critters, I cannot sleep in the barn. So, the farmer let him in. There was only Trump left to try the barn, so off he trudged, feeling very put upon.
In a few minutes, there was a knock at the farmer’s door. He opened the door.
There stood the pig and the cow.

Gosh did I laugh too, thanks Nickie.

Of course, when these jokes are told in other some other places then nationalities are changed ;).
 
In our area, if a joke involves marrying your cousin or general ignorance, the butt of the joke is Alabama. Such as, “Oh no, I just saw online that the university (of Alabama) library burned to ground. They weren’t able to save either of the two books.”
Or, “What’s the best thing to ever come out of Alabama?”
Interstate 20.
Final example:
Know why Alabama is a state?
It was land Georgia didn’t want and Mississippi couldn’t afford.

In Iowa, everybody tells jokes about Nebraskans—their feeble intellects, their unfortunate parentage, their sorry universities. In Nebraska, everybody tells the same jokes about Iowans.
 
Three young kids are bragging to each other about how fast their dads are.

Kid 1 says, "My dad is so fast he can outrun a train."
Kid 2 says, "Oh yeah? Well my dad is so fast he can outrun a bullet."
Kid 3 says, "That's nothing. My dad's a government employee. He's so fast that he clocks out at 5 PM and is home before 4."

(And for the record I am a g'vmnt employee.)
