Expats-remember what your embassies are for!

The priest said, "What do you mean, almost?"
The Irishman said, "Well, we got undressed and rubbed together, but then I stopped."
The priest said, "Rubbing together is the same as putting it in. You're not to see that woman again. For your penance, say five Hail Mary's and put $50 in the poor box ."
The Irishman left the confessional, said his prayers, and then walked over to the poor box.
He paused for a moment and then started to leave.
The priest, who was watching, quickly ran over to him saying, "I saw that, You didn't put any money in the poor box!"
The Irishman replied, "Yeah, but I rubbed the $50 on the box, and according to you, that's the same as putting it in!"
I love the Irish.. I remember a few years ago, when I was in a pub in kilkenny, County Derry when into the pub comes Paddy Murphy, looking like he'd just been
run over by a train. His arm is in a sling, his nose is broken, his face is cut, and bruised, and he's walking with a limp.
'What happened to you?' asks Sean, the bartender.
'Jamie O'Conner and me had a fight,' says Paddy.
'That little O'Conner,' says Sean, 'He couldn't do that to you, he must have had something in his hand.'
'That he did,' says Paddy, 'a shovel is what he had, and a terrible lickin' he gave me with it.'
'Well,' says Sean, 'you should have defended yourself. Didn't you have something in your hand?'
That I did,' said Paddy, 'Mrs. O'Conner's breast, and a thing of beauty it was; but useless in a fight.'
Snessy- quite, as this was meant to be a light hearted thing for people to have a laugh at, especially Brits (and by the way, you don't see many other nationalities taking the p%%s out of themselves on QL) it is particulalry irksome to have someone hijack the thread with a spot of have a bash at Brit day type thing
There's been an awful lot of Brit bashing of late, so I see why jjj75 isn't amused, it annoys me too - but I take into consideration who has posted, it could be tongue in cheek...
MN - not to me. Whatever, i think we both know what you meant by it.
Moving on swiftly
JJJ75! OMG! Seriously!! Are you blind!! The whole thing was effing hilarious! :D
I love the Irish, just listening to their accent tickles my fancy :-)
MN - I would, I already asked you to point out in your comments which was the bit that was supposed to be funny and why it was funny, but you didn't, which then inclined me to think that it was not really funny at all and just meant as another way to have a go.
Again, I will stand corrected if you wish to defend what you wrote and point out which bit is particularly hilarious and why it is so?
Perhaps you should extend your tolerances towards other forms of humor outside your culture to understand other people's jokes : P
MN - there is a long and bloody history of conflict between GB and Irish republic which still is not fully resolved, so making remarks about how the Brits don't like the Irish, without so much as a punch line (again I ask for the punchline) is not really much of a joke.
Do people find it funny if I say "oh the Qataris hate the Jordanians" lol... I doubt many would find this funny, I don't, just not a joke.
perhaps you need to understand what a joke is before attempting one?
And I love The scot menu!. Well minus Haggis EWW! lol
yeah cool down relax both of u
To you its offensive to me it was actually hilarious! Different ppl different tastes in life and different sense of humor. So are we cool now?
I Love Irish Chicks, and Beamish Stout... :)
I love the French
MN - not really funny in any way and actually offensive.
umm The fact that the Brit's hated the Irish LOL! Jesus Christ JJJ75! Why you have to take everything so dyem serious! Relaaaax gaal!
MN -i posted in funnies but maybe you need to clarify, please exactly pinpoint to the exact point what was so side splitting hilarious about your comments - usually there is a punchline but I failed to find one.
BG : this is a conversation between me and JJJ please stay out of it. Thank you (:
jjj75: what happened to Qler’s sense of humor!
There is a huge difference between race intended and designed race bashing comments and light- hearted racial jokes
posted in funnies lets stay coool
MN - what is funny about calling an entire nation a bunch of Xenophobes - all it does it to prove that perhaps that is what you are?
lol he was trying to be funny but alas
LOL. well I know It cracked me up :P
MN - that is neither helpful or funny, not sure what the purpose of your commments are?
More or less the Brit’s don't like anyone who isn't from their country (Britain).
They don't like the Spanish (they're hairy!)
they don't like the Portuguese (they're working-class!)
they don't like Americans (they're stupid!)
they don't like the French ( they got an accent!)
and they don't like the Belgians (they're retards!).
But the thing they "don't like" the most must be the Irish. :D
why so :?
I always take "sensible precautions" when I go to Spain :O)
