Joke Pile #473


 
'Tis a fine ting, St. Patty's Day. Fer (more o' less) yer pleasure, read on--measure fer measure.  (Caution: PG-rated)


Groaner of the Week

What does St. Patrick have in common with actor Samuel L. Jackson? 

They both had enough with the mawther feckin' snakes and drove them from the mawther feckin' plain.


Limericks (One of the older joke forms in the books, but whose origins are worth reading about)

There once was an adventurous leprechaun

Who arrived in America (pot o' gold in a carry-on)

Wanting a drink from the JFK lounge

From his pot, coins he did scrounge

The next day broke, he awoke in Tucson.


There once was a priest from Belfast

Who ended up in a cast

When asked why, "Truth to tell,

It was the bloody church bell"

Bell faster than this priest from Belfast.


There once was a horsewoman from Dublin

After a bareback ride, found a rash that was troublin'

Ointment applied by a nurse

Seemed to make it much worse

And hives on her thighs were a'bubblin'


There once was a Vegan from Cork

Who would never eat food with a fork

When asked why he dined

With utensils that had tines--

"Said he, I eat nothing with teeth, you dork."


There was a lovely maiden from Galway

Who swore she'd love her beau in all ways.

But when she met a handsome sailor

Who was heartier and hale-er

To the sailor said she, "Anchors aweigh!"


Once, a professor from Waterford

Huffed and said, "It's patently absurd."

On the evolutionary scale

To ask: Was it the wing or the tail

That originally flipped the bird?


There once was a poet from Limerick

Who said "I have come up with quite a trick."

I can make up clever rhymes

With a joke hidden in 5 lines

I call them "Limerick sublimer-Ricks."
