IF YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE IRISH, YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH

Post by dubl_t »

Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important
meeting and couldn't find a parking place. Looking up to heaven he
said, "Lord take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go
to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up me Irish
Whiskey!"

Miraculously, a parking place appeared.

Paddy looked up again and said, "Never mind, I found one."

Father Murphy walks into a pub in Donegal, and asks the first man he
meets, "Do you want to go to heaven?"

And he said, "I do, Father."

The priest said, "Then stand over there against the wall."

Then the priest asked the second man, "Do you want to go to heaven?"

"Certainly, Father," the man replied.

"Then stand over there against the wall," said the priest.

Then Father Murphy walked up to O'Sky and asked, "Do you want to go to
heaven?"

O'Sky said, "No, I don't Father."

The priest said, "I don't believe this. You mean to tell me that when
you die you don't want to go to heaven?"

O' Sky said, "Oh, when I die, yes. I thought you were getting a group
together to go right now."

Paddy was in New York .

He was patiently waiting and watching the traffic cop on a busy street
crossing. The cop stopped the flow of traffic and shouted, "Okay,
pedestrians. " Then he'd allow the traffic to pass.

He'd done this several times, and Paddy still stood on the sidewalk.

After the cop had shouted, "Pedestrians! " for the tenth time, Paddy
went over to him and said, "Is it not about time ye let the Catholics
across?"

Gallagher opened the morning newspaper and was dumbfounded to read in
the obituary column that he had died. He quickly phoned his best
friend, Finney.

"Did you see the paper?" asked Gallagher. "They say I died!!"

"Yes, I saw it!" replied Finney. "Where are ye callin' from?"

An Irish priest is driving down to Vacaville and gets stopped for
speeding in Sacramento . The state trooper smells alcohol on the
priest's breath and then sees an empty wine bottle on the floor of the
car.

He says, "Sir, have you been drinking?"

"Just water," says the priest.

The trooper says, "Then why do I smell wine?"

The priest looks at the bottle and says, "Good Lord! He's done it
again!"

Walking into the bar, Mike said to Charlie the bartender, "Pour me a
stiff one - just had another fight with the little woman."

"Oh yeah?" said Charlie , "And how did this one end?"

"When it was over," Mike replied, "She came to me on her hands and
knees, she did."

"Really!" said Charles, "Now that's a switch!

What did she say?"

She said, "Come out from under the bed, you wee chicken."

Remember: alcohol won't solve your problems....but neither does milk.

They are greedy charming Irishmen that will take you for all you're worth and dissapear leaving you stranded in Ireland without a cent to your name. So I say if your lucky enough to be American than you are the luckiest person in the world! Screw St. Paddy's day bring on the 4th of July!!

You really shouldnt say 'Screw St Paddys Day'

St Patrick was the Saint that Christianized Ireland, and as a result, the whole of Britain.

Whatever you have against Leprechauns or cereal box fictional characters has nothing to do with Ireland or St Patricks day.
You need to get a new cereal!

Where does an Irish family go on vacation?
A different bar.

Murphy told Quinn that his wife was driving him to drink.
Quinn thinks he's very lucky because his own wife makes him walk.

The late Bishop Sheen stated that the reason the Irish fight so often among themselves, is that they're always assured of having a worthy opponent.

An American lawyer asked, 'Paddy, why is it that whenever you ask an Irishman a question, he answers with another question?'

'Who told you that?' asked Paddy.

Boarhunter1,

It has nothing to do with St Patrick. The true meaning of the day was lost many decades ago and it is nothing but a bunch of plastic paddy's on a drunkfest, even in Ireland. As for my reference to leprechauns that was just an analogy. I have experienced Ireland firsthand and know it is not the wonderful and safe place that people here think it is. Violence and crime are rampent in the country. Not to mention swindlers that take advantage of decent people. Sure we have that here in America, but given the amount of it there in a country less than half the size of Wyoming it is not the place most Americans think it is. That is all I have to say on that matter.

Thanks for trying to smear what is an otherwise Blessed day and day we honor a great Irish Saint..
Guess you dont read the international crime reports much. Facts say You couldnt be more wrong & typical of those with a bias.
And funny you mention 'Swindlers', what of the English banksters that have ruined Irelands and Icelands economy?

The crime rate Ireland-both Northern and the Republic, including all crime from assault to murder, is Lower than that of Scotland, Wales, America and England, per capita.
http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_m ... per-capita


England has worst crime rate in world
Telegraph, U.K. |David Bamber

England and Wales have the highest crime rate among the world's leading economies, according to a new report by the United Nations.

The survey, which is likely to prove embarrassing to David Blunkett, the Home Secretary. shows that people are more likely to be mugged, burgled, robbed or assaulted here than in America, Germany, Russia, South Africa or any other of the world's 20 largest nations.
Only the Dominican Republic, New Zealand and Finland have higher crime rates than England and Wales.

According to the comparison of international crime statistics produced by the UN's Office for Drug Control and Crime Prevention, England and Wales had 9,766 crimes for every 100,000 people in the year 2000. America had 8,517, South Africa 7,997, Germany 7,621 and Russia 2,022.

The UN reports also shows that England and Wales are the second-worst places in the world for assaults, with 851 people assaulted per 100,000, and seventh for burglaries and car theft, with 1,579 burglaries per 100,000 population.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The US State Dept says this..

CRIME:
Ireland has a low rate of violent crime.
There have been a limited number of assaults on foreigners and tourists, including violence toward members of racial minority groups.
There have also been several reported assaults in Dublin by small, unorganized gangs roaming the streets in the early morning hours after the pubs close. There has been a high incidence of petty crime in major tourist areas—mostly theft, burglary, and purse-snatching.




Scotland is actually far worse with rergard to crime than Ireland, latest stats..

Scotland has been less successful at cutting crime than the rest of the UK, research suggests.
Crime rates have remained static in Scotland since devolution in 1999 while England, Wales and Northern Ireland have seen significant falls.
Report author Dr Rick Muir said: "It is clear that patterns of crime and government policies differ across the UK.

"Although crime is lower in Scotland than in England and Wales, it has not been as successful at reducing crime.
"We don't know yet whether that is because of less investment, wider social factors or different policies."

Northern Ireland crime rate still well behind that in England and Wales: survey


Saturday, 18 December 2010
Northern Ireland is still much safer than England and Wales, a crime survey revealed today.

Around 14% of people are likely to fall victim to crime, compared to more than a fifth of those in England and Wales.

But with the weakened hold of paramilitaries and greater willingness of people to report incidents to police, more cases may be coming to light which were previously hidden, an expert said.

University of Ulster lecturer in criminology Dr John Topping said: “People have been so concerned with the bigger conflict that normal crime has not been on the agenda.

“Now normal crime issues are coming to the fore. It does not necessarily mean there is more crime, it means people are more prepared to go to the police.”

He said there was little evidence that the crime gap with England and Wales was closing significantly and levels were among their lowest for 12 years.

The Northern Ireland crime survey bulletin for 2009/10 was published by the Department of Justice.

It said the risk of becoming a victim of crime in Northern Ireland was 14%, compared to 21% in England and Wales.

Despite what you think, the fact is that the irish are some of the most loved and admired people in the world.
Never in history have they ever invaded another nation.
They have given us many great writers, philosophers, industrialists and even Presidents. They took the worst of jobs and were discriminated against here and were Genocided back home in the Famine, deliberately by England.

Thats all I have to say about that..
