Two Irishmen talking, Pat and Mike:
Pat: Did you hear that Sean lost his life at the brewery the other day?
Mike: No, what happened?
Pat: Fell into a vat of beer...took him eight hours to die.
Mike: Eight hours?! Why so long?
Pat: Well, he got out twice to go to the ‘loo.
Both stories give credence to the saying that beer and whiskey were invented to keep (my fellow) Irish from ruling the earth.
An Irishman and a Spaniard were discussing the peculiarities of their respective languages and the Spaniard asked:
“Do you Irishmen have a word like our manana? Whenever something needs to be done, it’s always manana, meaning later. Never now.”
The Irishman thought for a bit then replied:
“Aye, we do, but it doesn’t have that terrible sense of urgency to it.”
