PATTY'S BAR
Sisters Mary Catherine, Maria Theresa, Katherine Marie, Rose Frances & Mary Kathleen left the Convent on a trip to St. Patrick's Cahedral in New York City and were sight-seeing on a Tuesday in July.
It was hot and humid in town and their traditional garb was making them so uncomfortable, they decided to stop in at Patty McGuire's Pub for a cold soft drink.
Patty had recently added special legs to her barstools, which were the talk of the fashionable eastside neighborhood. All 5 Nuns sat up at the bar and were enjoying their Cokes when Monsignor Riley and Father McGinty entered the bar throught the front door.
They, too, came for a cold drink when they were shocked and almost fainted at what they saw.

Hi James,

Just had to stop back by and join in the fun. 

AWESOME PARTY!!!

Here's a couple I hoped you might like:

Into a Belfast pub comes Paddy Murphy, looking as if he'd just been run over by a train. His arm is in a sling, his nose is broken, his face is cut and bruised and he's walking with a limp.

"What happened to you?" asks Sean, the bartender.

"Jamie O'Conner and me had a fight," says Paddy.

"That little fella, O'Conner?" says Sean. "He couldn't do that to you, he must have had something in his hand."

"That he did," says Paddy, "a shovel is what he had, and a terrible lickin' he gave me with it."

"Well," says Sean, "you should have defended yourself. Didn't you have something in your hand?"

"That I did," said Paddy. "Mrs. O'Conner, and a thing of beauty she was, but useless in a fight."


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

The man 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," was the man's reply.

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

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

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

 

Have A Blessed Weekend,

Phil

Hi Valerie, since you are the last post on here, I'll address you first. This little post has been around for a while, but definitely one to keep us in perspective! Thanks for sharing it.

Yes, I just got back from my trip. I didn't go to Mexico City, and I didn't go to Merida, I ended up going someplace else, namely, Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic. The weather was phenominal while I was there. I've had about 3 hours of sleep in the past 24 so I'm feeling fine ...LOL I think I need some of that Irish Beer before I go to bed, maybe my worries will vanish :)
