Defence Attorney:

Will you please state your age?

Old Lady:

I am 94 years old.

Defence Attorney:

Will you tell us, in your own words, what happened the night of April 1st?

Old Lady:

There I was, sitting there in my swing on my front porch on a warm

spring evening, when a young man comes creeping up on the porch

and sat down beside me!

Defence Attorney:

Did you know him?

Old Lady:

No, but he sure was friendly.

Defence Attorney:

What happened after he sat down?

Old Lady:

He started to rub my thigh.

Defence Attorney:

Did you stop him?

Old Lady:

No, I didn't stop him.

Defence Attorney:

Why not?

Little Old Lady:

It felt good. Nobody had done that since my Albert died

some 30 years ago.

Defence Attorney:

What happened next?

Old Lady:

He began to rub me all over of my body.

Defence Attorney:

Did you stop him then?

Old Lady:

No, I did not stop him.

Defence Attorney:

Why not?

Old Lady:

His rubbing made me feel all alive and excited.

I haven't felt that good in years!

Defence Attorney:

What happened next?

Old Lady:

Well, by then, I was feeling so "spicy" that I just laid down

and told him - 'Take me, young man. Take me now! '

Defense Attorney:

Did he take you?

Old Lady:

Hell, no! He just yelled, “April Fool!"

 

And that's when I shot him, the little bastard.

A Dublin Lawyer died and arrived at the pearly gates. Saint Peter asked him, "What have you done to merit entrance into Heaven?" The Lawyer thought for a moment, then said, "A week ago, I gave a quarter to a homeless person on Grafton Street." Saint Peter asked Gabriel to check this out in the record, and after a moment Gabriel affirmed that this was true.

Saint Peter said, "Well, that's fine, but it's not really quite enough to get you into Heaven." The Lawyer said, "Wait Wait! There's more! Three years ago I also gave a homeless person a quarter." Saint Peter nodded to Gabriel, who after a moment nodded back, affirming this, too, had been verified.

Saint Peter then whispered to Gabriel, "Well, what do you suggest we do with this fellow?"

Gabriel gave the Lawyer a sidelong glance, then said to Saint Peter,

"Let's give him back his 50 cents and tell him to go to Hell."

A guy is driving around the back woods of Cavan and he sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house: 'Talking Dog for Sale'. He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard.

The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever sitting there.

'You talk?' he asks.

'Yep,' the hound replies.

After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says 'So, what's your story?'

The Lab looks up and says, 'Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA.

‘In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping.

'I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running...

‘But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals. I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired.'

The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.

'Ten dollars,' the guy says.

‘Ten dollars - This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?'

‘Because he's a liar - He's never been out of the yard.’

Two Mexicans are stuck in the desert after crossing into the United States, wandering aimlessly and starving. They are about to just lie down and wait for death, when all of a sudden Luis says.........

‘Hey Pepe, do you smell what I smell. Ees bacon, I theenk.’

‘Si, Luis, eet sure smells like bacon.‘

With renewed hope they struggle up the next sand dune, and there, in the distance, is a tree loaded with bacon.

There's raw bacon, there's fried bacon, back bacon, double smoked bacon....

Every imaginable kind of cured pork!

‘Pepe, Pepe, we ees saved. Ees a bacon tree.’

‘Luis, maybe ees a meerage? We ees in the desert don't forget.’

‘Pepe, since when deed you ever hear of a meerage that smell like bacon...ees no meerage, ees a bacon tree.’

And with that, Luis staggers towards the tree. He gets to within 5 metres, Pepe crawling close behind, when suddenly a machine gun opens up, and Luis drops like a wet sock. Mortally wounded, he warns Pepe with his dying breath,

‘Pepe... Go back man, you was right, ees not a bacon tree!’

‘Luis, Luis MI amigo... What ees it? ‘

‘Pepe.. Ees not a bacon tree. Ees...

Ees....

Ees...

Ees...

Ees a ham bush ....’
