In The Eire

Air Lingus Flight 101 was flying from Heathrow to Dublin one night, with Paddy the Pilot, and Shamus the co-pilot. As they approached Dublin airport,they looked out the front window.

"B'jeesus," said Paddy, "Will ye look at how fookin short dat runway is."

"You're not fookin kiddin, Paddy," replied Shamus.

"Dis is gonna be one a' de trickiest landings you're ever gonna see," said Paddy.

"You're not fookin kiddin, Paddy," replied Shamus.

"Right, Shamus, when I give de signal, you put de engines in reverse," said Paddy.

"Right, I'll be doing dat," replied Shamus.

"And den ye put de flaps down straight away," said Paddy.

"Right, I'll be doing dat," replied Shamus.

"And den ye stamp on dem brakes as hard as ye can," said Paddy.

"Right, I'll be doing dat," replied Shamus.

"And den ye pray to de Mother Mary with all a' your soul," said Paddy.

"I be doing dat already," replied Shamus.

So they approached the runway with Paddy and Shamus full of nerves and sweaty palms. As soon as the wheels hit the ground, Shamus put the engines in reverse, put the flaps down, stamped on the brakes and prayed to Mother Mary with all of his soul.

Amidst roaring engines, squealing of tyres and lots of smoke, the plane screeched to a halt centimetres from the end of the runway, much to the relief of Paddy and Shamus and everyone on board. As they sat in the cockpit regaining their composure, Paddy looked out the front window and said to Shamus, "Dat has gotta be de shortest fookin runway I have EVER seen in me whole life.Shamus looked out the side window and replied:

"Yeah Paddy, but look how fookin wide it is."

Re: Lie on in court?

A police officer pulls a bloke over for speeding and has the following exchange:

Officer: May I see your driver's licence?

Driver: I don't have one. I had it suspended when I got my 3rd drink-driving ban.

Officer: I see sir, well may I see the log book for this vehicle?

Driver: It's not my car. I stole it.

Officer: The car is stolen ?

Driver: That's right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the log book in the glove box when I was putting my gun in there.

Officer: There's a gun in the glove box?

Driver: Yes sir. That's where I put it after I shot and killed the woman who owns this car and stuffed her in the boot.

Officer: There's a BODY in the BOOT ?!?!?

Driver: Yes, sir.

Hearing this, the officer immediately called his Superintendent. The car was quickly surrounded by police, and the Superintendent approached the driver to handle the tense situation:

Superintendent: Sir, can I see your licence?

Driver: Sure. Here it is. (It was valid.)

Superintendent: Who's car is this?

Driver: It's mine, officer. Here's the log book.

Superintendent: Could you slowly open your glove box so I can see if there's a gun in it?

Driver:Yes, sir, but there's no gun in it

Sure enough, there was nothing in the glove box.

Superintendent: Would you mind opening your boot ? I was told you said there's a body in it.

Driver: No problem.

Boot is opened; no body.

Superintendent: I don't understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a licence, stole the car, had a gun in the glovebox, and that there was a dead body in the boot.


Driver: Yeah, and I'll bet the lying bastard told you I was speeding, too.

It's a peach.

Stirrup some game...

David Beckham decides to try horseback riding, even though he has had no lessons or prior experience. He mounts the horse unassisted and the horse immediately springs into motion. It gallops along at a steady rhythmic pace as Posh stands back in admiration, but then he begins to slip from the saddle. In terror he grabs the horse's mane, but cannot seem to get a firm grip. He tries to throw his arms around the horse's neck, but he slides down the side of the horse anyway. The horse gallops along, seemingly impervious to its slipping rider.
Finally, he gives up his frail grasp and he attempts to leap away from the horse and throw himself to safety. Unfortunately, his foot has become entangled in the stirrup, now he is now at the mercy of the horse's pounding hooves as his head is struck against the ground over and over. Posh stands there frantic, unable to do anything to help as his
head is battered against the ground. He is mere moments away from unconsciousness when to his great fortune....


The Sainsbury's security guard sees him, leans over, and unplugs the horse.

Top Life Tips

If a small child is choking on an ice cube, don't panic. Simply pour a jug of boiling water down it's throat and hey presto! The blockage is almost instantly removed.

Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

Keep the seat next to you on the train vacant by smiling and nodding at people as they walk up the aisle.

Save on booze by drinking cold tea instead of whisky. The following morning you can create the effects of a hangover by drinking a thimble full of washing up liquid and banging your head repeatedly on the wall.

Make bath times as much fun for kiddies as a visit to the seaside by pouring a bucket of sand, a bag of salt and a dog turd into the bath.

Recreate the fun of a visit to a public swimming pool in your own home by filling the bath with cold water, adding two bottles of bleach, then urinating into it, before jumping in.

Putting just the right amount of gin in your goldfish bowl makes the fishes' eyes bulge and cause them to swim in an amusing manner.

Vegetarians coming to dinner? Simply serve them a nice bit of steak or veal. Since they're always going on about how tofu, Quorn, meat substitute etc 'tastes exactly like the real thing', they won't know any difference.

High blood pressure sufferers. Simply cut yourself and bleed for a while, thus reducing the pressure in your veins.

Motorists. Enjoy the freedom of cycling by removing your windscreen, sticking half a melon skin on you head, then jumping red lights and driving the wrong way up one way streets.

Create instant designer stubble by sucking a magnet and dipping your chin in a bowl of iron fillings.

A sheet of sandpaper makes a cheap and effective substitute for costly maps when visiting the Sahara

Convince neighbours that you have invented a 'SHRINKING' device by ruffling your hair, wearing a white laboratory coats and parking a JCB digger outside your house for a few days. Then dim and flicker the lights in your house during the night and replace the JCB unseen, with a Tonka toy of the same description. Watch their faces in the morning!

Have all your sh*ts at work. Not only will you save money on toilet paper, but you'll also be getting paid for it.

A mouse trap, placed on top on of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep.

Cinderella in "No Balls This Time" shocker. Page 5

Cinderella is now 95 years old. After a fulfilling life with the now dead Prince Charming, she happily nods gently in the sunshine upon her rocking chair, watching the world go by from her front porch, with a big black cat named Bob for companionship.

One sunny afternoon out of nowhere, appeared the fairy godmother.
Cinderella said, "My goodness, Fairy Godmother, I am happy to see you again. But what are you doing here after all these years"?

The Fairy Godmother replied, "Cinderella, you have lived an exemplary life since I last saw you. Is there anything for which your heart still yearns?"

Cinderella, overjoyed, uttered her first wish; "The Prince was a wonderful man, but not much of an investor. I'm living hand to mouth on my little widow's pension, so I wish I was extremely wealthy."

Instantly her rocking chair turned into solid gold

Cinderella said, "Ooh, thank you, Fairy Godmother".

The Fairy Godmother replied "Its the least that I can do. What do you want for your second
wish?"

Cinderella looked down at her frail body, and said, "I wish I were young again, full of the beauty and energy I once had."

Instantly, her wish became reality, and she was transformed, beautiful and vibrant again, with a surging desire for passion and love.

And then the Fairy Godmother spoke once more: "You have one more wish Cinders; what shall it be?"

Cinderella looked over to the frightened cat in the corner and said, "I wish for you to transform Bob, my old cat, into a kind and handsome young man."

Magically, in a flash of white light, Bob underwent so fundamental a change in his biological make-up that, when he stood before her, he was a man so beautiful she gasped with delight and anticipation.

The Fairy Godmother said, "Congratulations, Cinderella, enjoy your new life." With a blazing shock of bright blue electricity,her Fairy Godmother was gone as suddenly as she had appeared.

For a few eerie moments, Bob and Cinderella looked longingly into each other's eyes. Cinderella sat, breathless, gazing at the most beautiful, stunningly perfect man she had ever seen.

Then Bob walked slowly over to Cinderella and held her close in his young muscular arms. As he kissed her gently, she stirred in anticipation. He leaned in closer, softly blowing her golden hair with his warm sweet breath.

And whispered in her ear...

"Bet you're sorry you neutered me."

Teenage Kicks

Count Dracula is on the pull in Glasgow. He spends the night drinking Bloody Mary's in various clubs and biting on unsuspecting women's necks. He is heading for home, wandering along Argyle Street sometime before sunrise.

Suddenly he is hit on the back of the head.

He looks round and sees nothing. He looks down and sees a small sausage roll. Mmmm, he thinks. What's going on here? A few yards further on and ...

BANG.

Smacked on the back of the head again, he whirls round as quick as he can. Nothing.

Again he looks down and there is a small triangular sandwich lying on the ground. How odd. A few yards further along the street and ....

CRASH

Smacked on the back of the head again, he whirls round as quick as he can, still nothing. He's getting really angry now. Again he looks down and there is a cocktail sausage lying on the ground. He stands and peers into the darkness of the night. Nothing. He walks a few yards further on when he gets a tap on the shoulder.

With a swirl of his cape and a cloud of mist he turns as fast as he can. He feels a sharp pain in his heart. He falls to the ground clutching his chest, which is punctured by a small cocktail stick laden with a chunk of cheese and a pickle. On the ground dying, he looks up and sees a young female.

With his dying breath he gasps "Who the hell are you?"
