Father O'Malley had been transferred to Texas.
Father O'Malley rose from his bed one morning. It was a fine spring day in his new west Texas mission parish. He walked to the window of his bedroom to get a deep breath of the beautiful day outside He then noticed there was a jackass lying dead in the middle of his front lawn. He promptly called the local police station.
The conversation went like this: "Good morning. This is Sergeant Jones. How might I help you?"
"And the best of the day te yerself. This is Father O'Malley at St.Ann's Catholic Church. There's a jackass lying dead in me front lawn and would ye be so kind as to send a couple o'yer lads to take care of the matter?"
Sergeant Jones, considering himself to be quite a wit and recognizing the foreign accent, thought he would have a little fun with the good father, replied, "Well now, Father, it was always my impression that you people took care of the last rites!"
There was dead silence on the line for a long moment...
Father O'Malley then replied: "Aye, 'tis certainly true; but we are also obliged to notify the next of kin first, which is the reason for me call."
God bless y'all.
ROTFLMAO!!!
....and there's a reason people don't visit other ethnic areas....just saying...
I will read your post later.
First, however, I need to put on my $200 tennis shoes and take a walk through Harlem.
I need to get some money out of my account, and very conveniently, there is an ATM in that area.
From the grooveyard of great drama...
"So frowned he once, when in an angry parle, he smote the sledded Pollocks on the ice." (Hamlet, Act I, scene 1)
“Notice how teasing the Irish is OK? If you tried this with any other group - it would be called ‘hate speech’! “
Well, that’s because the Irish in America aren’t a bunch of losers and leeches, like the oft-offended groups.
And for the record, I am a big fan of basically all Jewish jokes (excepting Shoah-related ones, which are disgusting).
My Polish priest laughed out loud at this one:
“Why do Poles pour motor oil on their flowerbeds?”
“So their guns won’t rust!”
Love it! I enjoy your joke threads...sigh, jokes used to be an everyday part of life, but...now, it seems like everyone has completely lost the ability to tell or laugh at a joke.
(Could just be my joke-telling, though...:)
It did make me think of the now famous James O’Keefe caper (to prove a point about how idiotic politically correct speech is on campus) when he was in college, where he went into a campus administrator’s college to complain about St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, and how it is offensive to his Irish heritage...that “people think I Irish people are short and wear green coats...and then went on to convince them to ban Lucky Charms from being served in the cafeteria!!!!
I make a point when I’m at library, estate, and/or yard sales of picking up every old joke book I see. Don’t care about the condition, topic etc. Most are related to ice breakers for speeches but some are just straight runs of jokes on various topics.
There are a fair number of repeats across the books, but without fail I always discover a few new ones in those old tomes that I just can’t stop picking up new ‘old’ ones.
Thats really funny!
