A man came home from work, sat down in his favourite chair,
turned on the TV, and said to his wife, "Quick, bring me a beer
before it starts." She looked a little puzzled, but brought him
a beer. When he finished it, he said, "Quick, bring me another
beer. It's gonna start."
This time she looked a little angry, but brought him a beer.
When it was gone, he said, "Quick, another beer before it
starts."
That's it! She blows her top! "You bastard! You waltz in here,
flop your fat ass down, don't even say hello to me and then
expect me to run around like your slave. Don't you realize that
I cook and clean and wash and iron all day long?"
The husband sighed. "Oh no - it's started!"




A Scotsman, an Italian, and an Irishman are in a bar. They are having a
good time and all agree that the bar is a nice place.

Then the Scotsman says, "Aye, this is a nice bar, but where I come from,
back in Glasgee, there's a better one. At MacDougal's, ye buy a drink, ye
buy another drink, and MacDougal himself will buy yir third drink!"

The others agree that sounds like a good place.

Then the Italian says, "Yeah, dat's a nice bar, but where I come from
dere's a better one. In Roma, dere's this place, Vincenzo's. At Vincenzo's,
you buy a drink, Vincenzo buys you a drink. You buy anudda drink, Vincenzo
buys you anudda drink."

Everyone agrees that sounds like a great bar.

Then the Irishman says, "You tink dat's great? Where oi come from in
Dublin, dere's dis place called Morphy's. At Morphy's, they boy you your
forst drink, dey boy you your second drink, dey boy you your tird drink,
and den, dey take you in de back and get you laid!"

"Wow!" say the other two."That's fantastic! Did that actually happen to
you?"

"No," says the Irish guy, "but it happened to me sister."

A 2LT was walking home from work one day, when he noticed a little boy sitting on the sidewalk.
The little boy was playing with a pile of shit. Curious, the 2LT walked over to the little boy and asked him "Why are you playing with a pile of shit?" The little boy replied "I'm building an NCO". The 2LT, amused by this, ran back to the company to get his captain. Upon returning to the little boy, who was still playing with the pile of shit, the Captain asked "Son, what are you doing?" The little boy looked up at him and said " I'm building an NCO". The captain being equally amused insisted that they return and get the 1SG. When the three returned the little boy, still playing with his pile of shit, was asked by the 1SG "Son, what are you doing?" The little boy again replied "I'm building and NCO". "Why are you building an NCO?" asked the 1SG. The little boy paused and responded "Because I don't have enough shit to build an officer"

An Israeli soldier who just enlisted asked the Commanding Officer for a 3-day pass.

The CO says "Are you crazy? You just join the Israeli army, and you already want a 3-day pass? You must do something spectacular for that recognition!"

So the soldier comes back a day later in an Arab tank!

The CO was so impressed, he asked "How did you do it?"

"Well, I jumped in a tank, and went toward the border with the Arabs. I approached the border, and saw an Arab tank. I put my white flag up, the Arab tank put his white flag up. I said to the Arab soldier, "Do you want to get a three-day pass? So we exchanged tanks!"

Nice ones.

How many gears does a french tank have?

A very respected Captain in the Foreign Legion was transferred to a remote desert outpost. On his orientation tour he noticed a very old seedy looking camel tied out behind the enlisted men's barracks. He asked the Sergeant leading the tour, "Why is a camel tied to the barracks?" The Sergeant replied, "Well sir, it's a long way from anywhere, and the men have natural sexual urges, so when they do ... uh ... we have the camel ready for them.”

The Captain said, "Well, I suppose if it's good for morale, then I guess it's all right with me”. After he had been stationed at the fort for six long, lonely months, the Captain simply couldn't control his sexual angst any longer. He barked to his Sergeant: "BRING THE CAMEL INTO MY TENT!”

The Sergeant shrugged his shoulders, looked at the other men, and lead the camel into the Captain's quarters. Within a few minutes, the Captain emerged from his tent, fastening his trousers, almost beaming with pride.

"So, Sergeant, is that how the enlisted men do it?" he asked.
The Sergeant replied, "Well, sir, usually they just use it to ride into town."

Cpl. X, who was coming to the end of his career. He was on his last week & as a result didn't really give a toss about anything. His mate, Cpl. Y is on the gate, it's time for his lunch so he asks Cpl. X to cover for him. Cpl. X agrees & settles in for a spot of gate-keeping.

Soon enough a staff car, containing an officer of high rank, approaches. Cpl. X comes out, opens the barrier & lets them through, and goes back to the gate house.

The officer was a bit pissed at not getting a salute.
Officer: "Cpl"
Cpl. X: "Yes Sir"
Officer: "Is it not customary to pay complements to an officer?"
Cpl. X: "You're lookin' well today Sir"

One day a gardai clocked a car driven by a soilder at over 90 miles per hour. The soilder, one of our older military veterans of 10 overseas tours, immediately pulled over once he saw the blinking lights of the gardai car behind him!


soilder: Hi gardai. Did I do anything wrong?

gardaí: Sir I clocked you at 90 miles per hour. May I see your license please?

soilder: Naw that aint possible. I lost my license when I was charged with the Drunkeness about 4 years back.

gardaí: I see. The can I see your registration?

soilder: No that won’t be possible either. See this is a stolen car.

gardaí: stolen car?

soilder. Yep. The guy i stole it from is in the trunk.

gardaí: he's in the trunk?

soilder: yep. Bopped him on the head, cut him up into a hundred pieces, put em in plastic bags and popped him right into the trunk. You want to see him?

gardaí: no. You just stay in the car. The officer goes back to his car.

Five minutes later, five gardaí cars roll up and surround the vehicle. The gardai inspector strolls up to the car, with a drawn gun.

inspector: Sir, would you mind getting out of your car?

soilder: Sure sir. And he gets out

inspector: sir I just received a report from one of my men that he had just apprehended a driver without a license. Do you have a license to drive sir?

soilder: sure do and pulls out his driver license from his wallet.

inspector: I also received word that the man was driving a stolen car, with possibly a body in the trunk. Is this the case?

soilder: Naw sir, this is my car. He pulls the registration out of the glove compartment, and hands it to the captain.

inspector: would you mind opening your trunk?

soilder: sure sir. He then opened the trunk to reveal...nothing.

inspector: I am very puzzled. My man reported that he had apprehended an unlicensed driver, driving a stolen car, with a body in the trunk. None of that seems to be true.

soilder: yeah, and I bet the little liar even told you I was speeding didn’t he?


Works every time.

those were good, I'd heard a lot of those before but they're still good. Oh and the last one is a classic, I hear it around here a lot, though never quite told that way.

A garda is what we call the police here. Its Irish for gaurd
