How Do You Confuse An Irishman?

How do you confuse an Irishman?

Hold out a fork and a spade and ask him to take his pick.

[marval]

Haha

[poorclare]

Why an Irishman ?

[Ken4155]

Because, in all the old jokes, they're the original village idiots. For instance; The potato famine didn't actually occur. It was just that the Irish farmers forgot where they had planted them.
I did say old jokes, not good ones.

[bhg481]

If I were Dutch I would have said a Belgian - every nation has its favourite butt for jokes. Had it been about being mean it would have been a Scot or a Yorkshireman (Yorkshireman in my case because I'm a Lancastrian).

[Ken4155]

In America, it's the Poles.

bhg
Lol. Your explanation was funnier than the joke and that was funny. :-)

[retrocop]

In Canada it's the Newfies (Newfoundlanders)

[poorclare]

Sorry Ken but if you read the history regarding the Famine
believe it was not and is not a joke.

Now the Irish man telling the same joke ~ would say
How do you confuse a Kerry man (providing you are not
a Kerry man he would possible say a Dublin man.

I am now going a pick a nice meal, think I'll use a Fork.
(oh I am not Irish)

Have a nice evening and keep safe.

Why in America is it the Poles.

Sorry now must really get back to the jokes, we really
need them.

A Russian, a German, and a Pole meet on the 20th floor of a high-rise building, and decide to have a competition. Each one of them has to throw his watch out of the window, run down the stairs, and catch it before it falls on the ground. The Russian throws his watch, but before he gets downstairs, the watch is in pieces on the ground. Then the German throws his watch, and this also ends up in bits. Then it's the Pole’s turn. He calmly goes downstairs, dropping into the cafeteria on the eighth floor. After his coffee, he walks out of the front door, waits a minute and catches his watch. ‘How did you manage to do taht?’ ask the Russian and the German. ‘Easy!’ replies the Pole, ‘I just put my watch back two hours.’

....By telling him that the IRA were not a gang of bloodthirsty,murderous psychopaths,but a nice friendly bunch of peace loving teddybears?

[Patsy33]

Lol!

[ynnafymmi]

Im not laughing,Patsy.

[Deskdiary]

Why did the Arabs get the oil and the Irish potatoes?

Because god gave the Irish first choice.

Surely somebody hasn’t taken offence at an Irish joke have they?

[Ken4155]

Humour knows no bounds, poorclare. I didn't invent the joke, I merely told it by way of an explanation to your question, "Why an Irishman?" Chill. And stay safe :-)

[ynnafymmi]

No need to apologise,Ken.An apology from the other side would be more appropriate.

[Patsy33]

You'd better axe this joke...

[ynnafymmi]

Why,Patsy?

Okay forget the Irishmen. What about the Irish wolfhound sat by the fire chewing on a bone. When it stood up it's leg dropped off.
