...................were working for the city public works department. One would dig a hole and the other would follow behind him and fill the hole in.

They worked up one side of the street, then down the other, then moved on to the next street, working furiously all day without rest, one man digging a hole, the other filling it in again.

An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but couldn't understand what they were doing. So he asked the hole digger, " I'm impressed by the effort you two are putting into your work, but I don't get it: why do you dig a hole, only to have your partner follow behind and fill it up again? "

The hole digger wiped his brow and sighed, " Well, I suppose it probably looks odd because we're normally a three-person team. But today the lad who plants the trees called in sick. "

I dislike the term 'Brit'. It's disrespectful to my erstwhile employer.

Two Irishmen looking in a catalog,Patrick says "now would you look at these gorgeous women, the prices are reasonable too". Mick agrees,"I`m ordering one right now" says he.

Three weeks pass and Patrick asks," has your woman turned up yet Mick"?


No! says Mick" but sure it wont be long now, as her clothes arrived yesterday".

Patrick goes to the vet with his goldfish. “I think it’s got epilepsy” he tells the vet.
Vet takes a look and says “It seems calm enough to me”.
Patrick says, “I haven’t taken it out of the bowl yet”.
