The Irish girl knelt in the confessional and
said, "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned."
"What is it,
child?"
The girl said, "Father, I have committed the sin of vanity.
Twice a
day I gaze at myself in the mirror and tell myself how
beautiful I am."
The priest turned, took a good look at the girl,
and said, "My dear, I
have good news. That isn't a sin - it's only
a mistake."

An Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irishman were
without tickets for the opening ceremonies of the summer Olympics
but
hoped to be able to talk their way in at the gate. Security was
very
tight, however, and each of their attempts was met with a
stern refusal.
While wandering around outside the stadium, the
Englishman came upon
construction site, which gave him an idea. Grabbing
a length of
scaffolding, he presented himself at the gate and said,
"Johnson, the pole
vault," and was admitted.
The Scotsman,
overhearing this, went at once to search the site. When
he came up
with a sledge hammer, he presented himself at the gate and
said,
"McTavish, the hammer." He was also admitted.
The Irishman combed
the site for an hour and was nearly ready to give
up when he spotted
his ticket in. Seizing a roll of barbed wire, he
presented himself
at the gate and announced, "O'Sullivan, fencing."

Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven, God
went missing for seven days. Eventually, Michael the archangel
found
him. He inquired of God, "Where were you?". God sighed a deep
sigh of
satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds;
look my
child, look what I've just finished making. Archangel
Michael looked
puzzled and said what is it? God replied, "its another
planet, but this
time, I' ve decided to put LIFE on it. I've named
it earth and
there's going to be a balance between evertyhing on
it.
For example, there's North America and South America. North
America is
going to be rich and South America is going to be poor,
and the narrow
bit joining them - that's going to be a hot spot.
Now look over here.
I've put a continent of white people in the
North and another one of
black people in the South".
And then
the archangel said, "and what's that long white line
there?"
And God said "ahhh that's the land of the long white cloud -
Aotearoa - (New Zealand) that's a very special place. That's going to be
the most glorious spot on earth; Beautiful mountains, lakes,
rivers,
streams and an exquisite coastline. These people here are going
to be
modest, intelligent and humorous and they're going to be fond
of travelling
the world. They'll be extremely sociable, hard
working and high
achieveing. And I'm going to give them this
superhuman, undefeatable rugby
team which will be blessed with the most
talented, and charasmatic
specimens on the planet, and they will be
admired and feared by all who come
across them". Michael the archangel
gasped in wonder and admiration
but then seeming startled
proclaimed, "hold on a second, what about the
BALANCE, you said ther was
going to be a balance....."
God replied wisely, "wait until you see
the neighbours I'm going to
give them".
