mint Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 they were sent me by an Irish person? Paddy & Mick find three hand grenades, so they set off to take them to a police station. Mick: "What if one explodes before we get there?" Paddy: "We'll lie and say we only found two." Joe says to Paddy: "Close your curtains the next time you're having sex with your wife. The whole street was watching and laughing at you yesterday."Paddy says: "Well the joke's on them cos I wasn't even at home yesterday." Mick walks into Paddy's barn and catches him dancing naked and playing with himself in front of a tractor. Mick says, "Jesus Paddy, what ya doing?" Paddy says, "Well me and Mary haven't been getting on in the bedroom lately & the therapist recommended I do something sexy to attracter..... Paddy says to Mick –"I'm ready for a holiday, only this year I'm going to do it a bit different. Three years ago I went to Spain and Mary got pregnant.Two years ago I went to Italy and Mary got pregnant.Last year I went to Majorca and Mary got pregnant."Mick asks - "So what are you going to do this year?". Paddy replies, - "I'll take her with me!" Paddy says to Mick, "Christmas is on a Friday this year".Mick says "Let's hope it's not the 13th." Paddy's in the bathroom and Murphy shouts to him. "Did you find the shampoo?" Paddy says, "Yes but it's for dry hair and I've just feckin’ wet mine." Serious point here, guys.......if you told un-PC jokes about yourself (ethnic jokes, homosexual jokes, etc), is that OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idun Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 We have irish friends who can make us laugh for hours with such jokes. PC, well, they explained that these jokes are not about the irish in general and they said that when they said them they were always talking about the people form XYZ, they did say where, but I cannot remember. So I asked if the people in xyz got upset about it and they said, no because the people in XYZ tell the same jokes, but they know which family they are talking about. And if this was another joke, well maybe it was[;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I think every joke told is generally at the expense of someone.Even chicken jokes!To me, it's all about the context in which things are said, rather than actual words or joking about nationality.If there's malice, then that's the problem. The above is just banter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 We Bananas get it all the time you know; jokes about our skins, our colour, where people put us, our size, how to hold a banana, what gel to use with a Caribbean banana - frankly, if we did not have thick skins it would begin to wear a bit thin!

Rob Roy Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 The English tell jokes about the Irish; the Irish tell the same jokes but the people come from Kerry from what I remember. The French do the same about the Belgians etc etc. I can't see anything wrong with it, sometimes the PC card can go too far IMO.Loved the jokes Sweet, will be sending them to my Irish relatives [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
