Here in Cork they have a couple of jokes against the “better off” on the south-side of the city (Rochestown), plus a few against the less well off in Knocknaheeny:
Definition of a creche: a car accident in Rochestown.
Man from Rochestown falls into the river. His mother is beside him. She shouts out “Help! My son, the doctor, is drowning”.
Man leaves his Mercedes in Knocknaheeny. There’s a youngster lounging close by.
“Mind yer car, mister?” says the young lad.
“No thanks”, says the man. “Do you see inside? There’s my dog. He’ll look after it for me”.
True enough, there is the nastiest, meanest looking doberman, sitting up in the back-seat, growling and slobbering.
The younster looks back at the man. “Mister? Does your dog put out fires?”
Then there’s the social worker who’s walking dowm the road when she comes across a guy lying on the pavement, battered and bleeding. “My god!” she exclaims, “The person who did this to you really needs some help!”
A guy goes to the supermarket and notices a beautiful blonde woman waving at him and saying hello. He’s rather taken aback, because he can’t place where he knows her from.
So he says, “Do you know me?”
To which she replies, “I think you’re the father of one of my kids.”
Now his mind travels back to the only time he has ever been unfaithful to his wife and he says, “My God, are you the stripper from my bachelor party that I laid on the pool table with all my buddies watching, while your partner whipped my butt with wet celery?”
She looks into his eyes and calmly says, “No, I’m your son’s math teacher.”
A couple of old women are standing near the street corner of a small Irish town, close to the home of the local town prostitute.
A few minutes later, along comes the local Rabbi. He reaches the house, looks left and right, knocks on the door and disappears inside. The old women go apoplectic. “What a disgrace”, says one. “Ah, sure they’re all like that”, says another. “Disgusting” yells a third.
About a half-hour later, along strolls the Protestant Rector. He pauses in front of the front door, glances around, knocks on the door and in he goes. “Ah, for God’s sake” one of the old women shout out. “No morals, that’s it – no morals”, says another. “Libertine!” screeches the third.
Soon afterwards, the local Catholic Priest appears. He looks carefully around, and then knocks quietly on the door. The door opens and he sneaks in. The old women look at each other and shrug. “Ah, the poor woman must be sick”.

A ratehr voluptuous woman goes on vacation, and spends almost all of her time sunbathing on the roof of her hotel. She wears a bathing suit the first day, but on the second, she decides that since no one can see her anyway, she’d prefer not to have tan lines.
She hasn’t been lying there long when she hears someone running up the stairs. She’s lying on her stomach, so she pulls a towel over her back and bottom.
The hotel manager runs over, out of breath from running up the stairs, and pants “the management doesn’t mind your sunbathing on the roof, but we would very much appreciate your wearing a bathing suit as you did yesterday.”
“What difference does it make?” Joan asks. “No one can see me up here, and besides, I’m covered with a towel.”
“Not exactly,” says the embarrassed manager. “You’re lying on the dining room skylight.”

The lady wants to find out for herself, so she goes back to his bunk and spends the night with him. The next morning she hands him a $100 bill.
Blushing, the cowboy says, “Well, thank you, ma’am. I’m real flattered. Ain’t nobody ever paid me for doing that before.”
The woman replies, “Don’t be flattered… take this money and buy yourself some boots that fit.”

And the Scots gardener who found a trumpet buried in his vegetable patch. He rooted it oot.
My favourite joke from the great Scots comedian, Chic Murray, who some may know as the headmaster in Gregory’s Girl. It works best if you’re familiar with his droll delivery, but here goes:
There was this chap who was a travelling salesman. He sold ironing boards. He was in the ironing boards game. Anyway, one time he was at a trade exhibition down in London. He’d come across these new, collapsible ironing boards – very clever – they folded up into a wee bag – and he’d taken a sample to see if they’d sell. Now, he was travelling back up by train, but when he got to Euston he discovered that there’s been a dreadful mix up with the arrangements for the sleeping cars. It was chaos. In his compartment, there was one lassie who’d been put in with five men. Anyway, he got the top bunk, and he made sure he kept his new collapsible ironing board with him in its wee case so that it wouldn’t go missing. The lassie was across the way and they got chatting – and they started to establish quite a rapport – they were getting along famously. So he says to her:
“Why don’t you come over to my bunk and we could have a wee cuddle?”
“Och, away!” she says, “How would I get all the way over there?”
“Well,” says he, “I’ve got something here in my bed that I could stretch out and you could sort of roll across.”
And a voice calls out from a lower bunk:
“Aye! But how’s she goantae get back?”

A guy is browsing in a pet shop and sees a parrot sitting on a little perch. It doesn’t have any feet or legs.
The guy says aloud, “Jeesh, I wonder what happened to this parrot?”
The parrot says, “I was born this way. I’m a defective parrot.”
“Holy crap,” the guy replies. “You actually understood and answered me!”
“I got every word,”says the parrot. “I happen to be a highly intelligent thoroughly educated bird.”
“Oh yeah?” the guy asks, “Then answer this – how do you hang onto your perch without any feet?”
“Well,” the parrot says, “this is very embarrassing but since you asked, I wrap my weenie around this wooden bar like a little hook. You can’t see it because of my feathers.”
“Wow,” says the guy. “You really can understand and speak English can’t you?”
“Actually, I speak both Spanish and English, and I can converse with reasonable competence on almost any topic: politics, religion,sports,physics, philosophy. I’m especially good at ornithology. You really ought to buy me. I’d be a great companion.”
The guy looks at the $20000 price tag. “Sorry, but I just can’t afford that.”
“Think about it,” says the parrot, “I’m defective, so the truth is,nobody wants me cause I don’t have any feet. You can probably get me for $20′ just make the guy an offer!”
The guy offers $20 and walks out with the parrot.
Weeks go by. The parrot is sensational. He has a great sense of humor, he’s interesting, he’s a great pal, he understands everything, he sympathizes, and he’s insightful. The guy is delighted.
One day the guy comes home from work and the parrot goes, “Psssssssssssst,” and motions him over
with one wing. “I don’t know if I should tell you this or not, but it’s about your wife and the postman.”
“What are you talking about?” asks the guy.
“When the postman delivered the mail today, your wife greeted him at the door in a sheer black nightie.”
“WHAT???” the guy asks incredulously. “THEN what happened?”
“Well, then the postman came into the house and lifted up her nightie and began petting her all over,” reported the parrot.
“NO!” he exclaims. “And she let him?”
“Yes. Then he continued taking off the nightie! , got down on his knees and began to kiss her all over…..”
The frantic guy demands, “THEN WHAT HAPPENED?”
“Damned if I know. I got a hard-on and fell off my perch!
‘s Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, and a man makes his way to his seat right at centre ice. He sits down, noticing that the seat next to him is empty. He leans over and asks his neighbour if someone will be sitting there. “No,” says the neighbour. “The seat is empty.” “This is incredible”, said the man. “Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the Stanley Cup and not use it?” The neighbour says “Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first Stanley Cup we haven’t been to together since we got married in 1967.” “Oh … I’m sorry to hear that. That’s terrible. But couldn’t you find someone else, a friend or relative, or even a neighbour to take the seat?” The man shakes his head “No. They’re all at the funeral.”

Here’s one that requires some audience particiption. However…you don’t have to prepare your audience in advance. If you get it right, it should just happen.
So anyway…this goes back to the old days of the Thatcher/Reagan era. Maggie is on a state visit to Washington DC, and she’s getting a tour of the Whitehouse. They take her through the Lincoln balroom, the library, the rose garden, etc. etc – the full works. They’re headed back to the Oval Office and they go down a long corridor. Halfway down there’s a door. And what’s through there? asks Maggie.
But everyone just harrumphs and the Security Service move her along swiftly.
Anyway, she’s sat down for talks with the president, but after a while, Ronnie starts to nod off, as he was prone to do. So Maggie siezes her chance. She’s out of the office and off down the corridor in a flash. She trys the door. Damn! It’s locked. So she bends down and peers through the keyhole. She can see a massive, round waterbed with satin Stars and Stripes cover. On the bed, stark bollock naked, legs akimbo, is Nancy Reagan. And kneeling between her legs is…
(and here you have to do some acting)
Damn! I’ve forgotten his name. Whatchamacall’in…Former Secretary of State…Henry something. Henry…?

There were three medieval kingdoms on the shores of a lake. There was an island in the middle of the lake, over which the kingdoms had been fighting for years. Finally, the three kings decided that they would send their knights out to do battle, and the winner would take the island.

The night before the battle, the knights and their squires pitched camp and readied themselves for the fight. The first kingdom had 12 knights, and each knight had five squires, all of whom were busily polishing armor, brushing horses, and cooking food. The second kingdom had twenty knights, and each knight had 10 squires. Everyone at that camp was also busy preparing for battle. At the camp of the third kingdom, there was only one knight, with his squire. This squire took a large pot and hung it over a roaring fire from a tall tree with a hangman’s knot. He busied himself preparing a meal, while the knight polished his own armor.

When the hour of the battle came, the three kingdoms decided to send their squires out to fight (since this was too trivial a matter for the knights to join in). The battle raged, and when the dust had cleared, the only person left was the lone squire from the third kingdom, having defeated the squires from the other two kingdoms, thus proving that the squire of the high pot and noose is equal to the sum of the squires of the other two sides.
For others who want to try it out, make sure you use an envelope slightly longer in length than in width. Nog and I used a totally square envelope left over from some old Christmas cards and it took us awhile to ‘get it’.

“Oh, really.” Mumbled the American.
“You know this bar we are sitting at? I built this bar with my own two hands but they don’t call me Angus the Bar Builder.”
“I see.” Murmured the American.
“What hotel are you staying in?” Asked the Scot.
“Oh, the Loch Ness Inn.” Answered the American

“Well,” says he, “I’ve got something here in my bed that I could stretch out and you could sort of roll across.”

A guy is browsing in a pet shop and sees a parrot sitting on a little perch. It doesn’t have any feet or legs.
The guy says aloud, “Jeesh, I wonder what happened to this parrot?”
The parrot says, “I was born this way. I’m a defective parrot.”
“Holy crap,” the guy replies. “You actually understood and answered me!”
“I got every word,”says the parrot. “I happen to be a highly intelligent thoroughly educated bird.”
“Oh yeah?” the guy asks, “Then answer this – how do you hang onto your perch without any feet?”
“Well,” the parrot says, “this is very embarrassing but since you asked, I wrap my weenie around this wooden bar like a little hook. You can’t see it because of my feathers.”
“Wow,” says the guy. “You really can understand and speak English can’t you?”
“Actually, I speak both Spanish and English, and I can converse with reasonable competence on almost any topic: politics, religion,sports,physics, philosophy. I’m especially good at ornithology. You really ought to buy me. I’d be a great companion.”
The guy looks at the $20000 price tag. “Sorry, but I just can’t afford that.”
“Think about it,” says the parrot, “I’m defective, so the truth is,nobody wants me cause I don’t have any feet. You can probably get me for $20′ just make the guy an offer!”
The guy offers $20 and walks out with the parrot.
Weeks go by. The parrot is sensational. He has a great sense of humor, he’s interesting, he’s a great pal, he understands everything, he sympathizes, and he’s insightful. The guy is delighted.
One day the guy comes home from work and the parrot goes, “Psssssssssssst,” and motions him over
with one wing. “I don’t know if I should tell you this or not, but it’s about your wife and the postman.”
“What are you talking about?” asks the guy.
“When the postman delivered the mail today, your wife greeted him at the door in a sheer black nightie.”
“WHAT???” the guy asks incredulously. “THEN what happened?”
“Well, then the postman came into the house and lifted up her nightie and began petting her all over,” reported the parrot.
“NO!” he exclaims. “And she let him?”
“Yes. Then he continued taking off the nightie! , got down on his knees and began to kiss her all over…..”
The frantic guy demands, “THEN WHAT HAPPENED?”
“Damned if I know. I got a hard-on and fell off my perch!

‘s Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, and a man makes his way to his seat right at centre ice. He sits down, noticing that the seat next to him is empty. He leans over and asks his neighbour if someone will be sitting there. “No,” says the neighbour. “The seat is empty.” “This is incredible”, said the man. “Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the Stanley Cup and not use it?” The neighbour says “Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first Stanley Cup we haven’t been to together since we got married in 1967.” “Oh … I’m sorry to hear that. That’s terrible. But couldn’t you find someone else, a friend or relative, or even a neighbour to take the seat?” The man shakes his head “No. They’re all at the funeral.”

Here’s one that requires some audience particiption. However…you don’t have to prepare your audience in advance. If you get it right, it should just happen.
So anyway…this goes back to the old days of the Thatcher/Reagan era. Maggie is on a state visit to Washington DC, and she’s getting a tour of the Whitehouse. They take her through the Lincoln balroom, the library, the rose garden, etc. etc – the full works. They’re headed back to the Oval Office and they go down a long corridor. Halfway down there’s a door.
And what’s through there? asks Maggie.
But everyone just harrumphs and the Security Service move her along swiftly.
Anyway, she’s sat down for talks with the president, but after a while, Ronnie starts to nod off, as he was prone to do. So Maggie siezes her chance. She’s out of the office and off down the corridor in a flash. She trys the door. Damn! It’s locked. So she bends down and peers through the keyhole. She can see a massive, round waterbed with satin Stars and Stripes cover. On the bed, stark bollock naked, legs akimbo, is Nancy Reagan. And kneeling between her legs is…
(and here you have to do some acting)
Damn! I’ve forgotten his name. Whatchamacall’in…Former Secretary of State…Henry something. Henry…?

There were three medieval kingdoms on the shores of a lake. There was an island in the middle of the lake, over which the kingdoms had been fighting for years. Finally, the three kings decided that they would send their knights out to do battle, and the winner would take the island.

The night before the battle, the knights and their squires pitched camp and readied themselves for the fight. The first kingdom had 12 knights, and each knight had five squires, all of whom were busily polishing armor, brushing horses, and cooking food. The second kingdom had twenty knights, and each knight had 10 squires. Everyone at that camp was also busy preparing for battle. At the camp of the third kingdom, there was only one knight, with his squire. This squire took a large pot and hung it over a roaring fire from a tall tree with a hangman’s knot. He busied himself preparing a meal, while the knight polished his own armor.

When the hour of the battle came, the three kingdoms decided to send their squires out to fight (since this was too trivial a matter for the knights to join in). The battle raged, and when the dust had cleared, the only person left was the lone squire from the third kingdom, having defeated the squires from the other two kingdoms, thus proving that the squire of the high pot and noose is equal to the sum of the squires of the other two sides.

“Oh, really.” Mumbled the American.
“You know this bar we are sitting at? I built this bar with my own two hands but they don’t call me Angus the Bar Builder.”
“I see.” Murmured the American.
“What hotel are you staying in?” Asked the Scot.
