Two Polish guys were taking their first train
trip to Warsaw on the train. A vendor came down the corridor selling
bananas which they'd never seen before. Each bought
one.
The first one eagerly peeled the banana and bit into it just as the
train went into a tunnel. When the train emerged from the tunnel, he
looked across to his friend and said, "I wouldn't eat that if I were
you."
"Why not?"
"I took one bite and went blind
for half a minute."

There was a young Scottish boy called Angus who
decided to try life in Australia. He found an apartment in a small
block and settled in.
After a week or two, his mother
called from Aberdeen to see how her son
was doing in his new life.
'I'm fine, ' Angus said. 'But there are some really strange
people
living in these apartments. One woman cried all day long,
another lies
on her floor moaning, and there is a guy next door to me who
bangs his
head on the wall all the time.'
'Well, ma
laddie,' says his mother, 'I suggest you don't associate
with people
like that.'
'Oh,' says Angus, 'I don't, Mam, I don't. No,
I just stay inside
my apartment all day and night, playing my
bagpipes.'

Paddy was trapped in a bog and seemed a goner
when Big Mick O'Reilly wandered by.
"Help!" Paddy shouted,
"Oi'm sinkin'!" Don't worry," assured
Mick. "Next to the Strong
Muldoon, Oi'm the strongest man in Erin, and
Oi'll pull ye right
out o' there."
Mick leaned out and grabbed Paddy's hand and
pulled and pulled to no
avail. After two more unsuccessful attempts,
Mick said to Paddy,
"Shure, an' Oi can't do it. The Strong
Muldoon could do it alone, mebbe,
but Oi'll have to get some help."
As Mick was leaving, Paddy called "Mick! Mick! D'ye think it will
help if Oi pull me feet out of the stirrups?"

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."
