Just trying to balance things a bit. I have never been in favor of ethnic or racial jokes. They are almost always told by non-members of the targeted ethnic group and there is always the assumption that members of the targeted ethnic group "don't mind at all." I can assure you that, most of the time, they do, but good manners generally prevent them from objecting.
Funny thing is that I am Irish American and my favorite jokes are Irish jokes. Most Irish Americans I know are the same way.
But, as I said, I just don't care for Swagger all that much, so am in no mood to share them here.
I respect your position,
though most of those with Irish blood can take it just fine and actually enjoy it.
That's fantastic news. You'll love these:
Two Irish pilots flying An Air Fungus jet on final approach at Cork Airport,
First pilot said: "Bejesus! Look how short this runway is."
Second pilot said: "Yes, but look how fucking wide it is!"
NEWSFLASH!
The Irish government have announced that, as of next week, all cars in Ireland will now drive on the right hand side of the road. If this is a success, all buses and trucks will follow a week later.
Woman: "Help, help, an Irishman tried to rape me!"
Cop: "How do you know he was Irish?"
Woman: "I had to help him."
Irelands worst air disaster occurred early this morning when a small two-seater Cessna plane crashed into a cemetery. Irish search and rescue workers have recovered 1826 bodies so far and expect that number to climb as digging goes on into the night.
(Most Americans rarely get this one, but I'll chuck it in anyway)
A teacher asks her class to use the word "contagious". Roland, the teacher's pet, gets up and says, "Last year I got the measles and my mum said it was contagious."
"Well done, Roland," says the teacher.
"Can anyone else try?"
Katie, a sweet little girl with pigtails, says, "My grandma says there's a bug going round, and it's contagious."
"Well done, Katie," says the teacher. "Anyone else?"
Little Irish Sean jumps up and says in a broad Dublin accent, "Our next door neighbour is painting his house with a two inch brush, and my dad says it will take the contagious."
