Mrs. Donovan was walking down O'Connell Street in Dublin when she met up with Father Flaherty.
The Father said, 'Top o' the mornin' To ye! Aren't ye Mrs. Donovan And didn't I marry ye and yer Hoosband two years ago?'
She replied, 'Aye, that we did, Father.'
The Father asked, 'And be there
Any wee little ones yet?'
She replied, 'No, not yet, Father.'
The Father said, 'Well now, I'm going to Rome next week And I'll light a fertility candle for ye And yer hoosband.'
She replied, 'Oh, thank ye, Father...'
They then parted ways..
Some years later they met again.
The Father asked, 'Well now,
Mrs. Donovan, how are ye these days?'
She replied, 'Oh, very well, Father!'
The Father asked, 'And tell me,
Have ye any wee ones yet?'
She replied, 'Oh yes, Father!
Two sets of twins and six singles,
Ten in all!'
The Father said, 'That's wonderful!
And how is yer loving hoosband doing?'
She replied, 'E's gone to Rome
to blow out yer f kin' candle.'
God Bless
Sure is some very culchie talk out of people who are supposed to be Dubliners . . .
Not to mention the wild swings into Scottish Highland and Cockney accents.
I always enjoy the humor you post.
That’s funny........;)
And so it is, and so it is.
It's my understanding that there are three Irish accents, though most people only know of two, The Northern and the Southern, but I watched a Youtube video of someone explaining it, and they said there was a third, and then they demonstrated it.
Biden-typical liberal politician-—
President Biden visits a remote Native American reservation. With news crews following him around as they tour the place, the President asks the chief if there is anything they need.
“Well,” says the chief, “We have three very important needs. First, we have a medical clinic, but no doctor to man it.” Biden whips out his cellphone, dials a number, talks to somebody for two minutes, and then hangs up. “I’ve pulled some strings. Your doctor will arrive in a few days.”
“Now what was the second problem?”
“We have no way to get clean water. The local mining operation has poisoned the water our people have been drinking for thousands of years. We’ve been flying bottled water in, and it’s terribly expensive.”
Once again, Biden dials a number, yells into the phone for a few minutes, and then hangs up. “The mine has been shut down, and the owner is being billed for setting up a purification plant for your people.”
“Now what was that third problem?”
The chief looks at him and says, “We have no cellphone reception up here!”
Seems to me that every county (almost) has its own accent. Donegal’s accent is very close to most of the Ulster ones in Northern Ireland, which in turn has many similarities to the Scottish accent of Glasgow. The Cork accent sometimes doesn’t sound like English to people unfamiliar with it.
