For most of my life, I’ve heard that my family is part Irish and some Ancestry DNA tests recently confirmed that. I’ve always loved the Irish traditions and am a proud (and now confirmed) Irishwoman, and my husband loves to laugh at my devotion to a country I’ve never even visited. The fact is, Irish people have a rush culture and history and they always have a great sense of humor. Perhaps more importantly, they know how to have a good time and that usually includes a pint or three at the pub. Now, my daughter is dating a man from Northern Ireland, and she’s always telling me something funny he’s said. No one tells a good joke like an Irishman. This joke about a couple of Irish blokes sitting together at a bar doesn’t disappoint. Enjoy!
Two men were sitting next to each other at Murphy’s Pub in London. After a while, one bloke looks at the other and says, I can’t help but think, from listening to you, that you’re from Ireland.
The other bloke responds proudly, Yes, that I am!
The first one says, So am I! And where about from Ireland might you be?
The other bloke answers, I’m from Dublin, I am.
The first one responds, So am I!
Mother Mary and begora. And what street did you live on in Dublin?
The other bloke says, A lovely little area it was. I lived on McCleary Street in the old central part of town.
The first one says, Faith and it’s a small world. So did I! So did I! And to what school would you have been going?
The other bloke answers, Well now, I went to St. Marys, of course.
The first one gets really excited and says, And so did I. Tell me, what year did you graduate?
The other bloke answers, Well, now, let’s see. I graduated in 1964.
The first one exclaims, The Good Lord must be smiling down upon us! I can hardly believe our good luck at winding up in the same place tonight. Can you believe it, I graduated from St. Marys in 1964 my own self!
About this time, Vicky walks up to the bar, sits down, and orders a drink.
Brian, the barman, walks over to Vicky, shaking his head and mutters, It’s going to be a long night tonight.
Vicky asks, Why do you say that, Brian?
The Murphy twins are drunk again.
