Paddy worked at the Guinness factory for many years.
Alas, one day he died while at work.
They went to inform his wife who asked "Was it quick, at least? I hope he didn't suffer."
His cowoker said "No, he drowned in the vat, and got out three times to piss before he went under for the last time"
I can't help it. I have a weakness for ethnic jokes.

Every Friday Brian went to the pub and had two shots. One for him and one for his brother.
This tradition continued for a while until one Friday evening Brian asks for just one shot.
Crestfallen the bartender says "I'm so sorry for your loss, Brian. Sean was a good lad."
"What are you on about?" asks Brian, "Sean's not dead. It's me that's quit the drink."
