Older than dirt?
Then you just have to appreciate this one.
Young people forget that we old people had a career before we retired...
Charley, a new retiree-greeter at Wal-Mart, just couldn't seem to get to work on time. Every day he was 5, 10, 15 minutes late. But he was a good worker, really tidy, clean-shaven, sharp-minded and a real credit to the company and obviously demonstrating their "Older Person Friendly" policies.
One day the boss called him into the office for a talk. "Charley, I have to tell you, I like your work ethic, you do a bang-up job when you finally get here; but your being late so often is quite bothersome."
"Yes, I know boss, and I am sorry and am working on it."
"Well good, you are a team player. That's what I like to hear"
"Yes sir, I understand your concern and I will try harder."
Seeming puzzled, the manager went on to comment, "I know you're retired from the Armed Forces. What did they say to you there if you showed up in the morning late so often?"
The old man looked down at the floor, then smiled.
He chuckled quietly, then said with a grin............
"They usually saluted and said, Good morning, Admiral, can I get your coffee, sir?"
Ha. If I was this guy’s boss, I would instruct my employees to say, “Good Morning, Admiral” to him too.
Only the Irish have Jokes Like These - BUT THEY LOVE TO SHARE!!!!
Into a Belfast 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 shit, 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.”

An Irishman who had a little too much to drink is
driving home from the city one night and, of course his car is weaving violently all over the road.
A cop pulls him over. “So,” says the cop to the driver, “where have ya been?”
“ Why, I’ve been to the pub of course,” slurs the drunk.
“ Well,” says the cop, “it looks like you’ve had quite a few to drink this evening.”
“I did all right,” the drunk says with a smile.
“Did you know,” say’s the cop, standing straight and folding his arms across his chest, “that a few intersections
back, your wife fell out of your car?”
“Oh, thank heavens,” sighs the drunk. “For a minute there, I thought I’d gone deaf.”

Brenda O’Malley is home making dinner, as usual, when Tim Finnegan arrives at her door. “Brenda,
may I come in?” he asks. “I’ve somethin’ to tell ya”.
“Of course you can come in, you’re always welcome, Tim. But where is my husband?”
“That’s what I’m here to be telling ya, Brenda. “there was an accident down at the Guinness brewery...”
“Oh, God no!” cries Brenda. “Please don’t tell me.”
“I must, Brenda. Your husband Shamus is dead and gone. I’m sorry.” Finally, she looked up at Tim.
“How did it happen, Tim?”
“It was terrible, Brenda. He fell into a vat of Guinness Stout and drowned.”
“Oh my dear Jesus! But you must tell me truth, Tim. Did
he at least go quickly?”
“Well, Brenda... No. In fact, He got out three times to pee.”

Mary Clancy goes up to Father O’Grady after his Sunday morning service, and she’s in tears.
He says, “So what’s bothering you, Mary my dear?”
She says, “Oh, Father, I’ve got terrible news. My
husband passed away last night.”
The priest says, “Oh, Mary, that’s terrible. Tell me Mary, did he have any last requests?”
She says, “That he did, Father.”
The priest says, “What did he ask, Mary? “
She says, He said, ‘Please Mary, put down that damn gun...’

AND THE BEST FOR LAST
A drunk staggers into a Catholic Church, enters a confessional booth, sits down, but says nothing.
The Priest coughs a few times to get his attention but the drunk continues to sit there. Finally,
the Priest pounds three times on the wall.
The drunk mumbles, “ain’t no use knockin’, there’s no
paper on this side either!”
A man stumbles up to the only other patron in a bar and asks if he could buy him a drink.
“Why of course,” comes the reply.
The first man then asks: “Where are you from?”
“I’m from Ireland,” replies the second man.
The first man responds: “You don’t say, I’m from Ireland too! Let’s have another round to Ireland.”
“Of Course,” replies the second man. Curious, the first man then asks: “Where in Ireland are you from?” “Dublin,” comes the reply.
“I can’t believe it,” says the first man. “I’m from Dublin too! Let’s have another drink to Dublin.”
“Of course,” replies the second man. Curiosity again strikes and the first man asks: “What school did you go to?”
“Saint Mary’s,” replies the second man. “I graduated in ‘62.”
“This is unbelievable!” the first man says. “I went to Saint Mary’s and I graduated in ‘62, too!”
About that time in comes one of the regulars and sits down at the bar. “What’s been going on?” he asks the bartender. “Nothing much,” replies the bartender. “The O’Malley twins are drunk again.”
That is funny;)
p.s. I was married to an Irish man and he was NOT funny. These jokes are my revenge;)
Ping.
Heh.
