An Irish Joke ( I Love them all)

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.

Where he gets a job with a bricklayer. He writes home to his brother Mike: I've got the easiest job ever. I load a hod up with bricks, carry it up 10 stories, and the other guy does all the work!

I could've had some crappy job on the factory floor, I could have been filling boxes with product and foam peanuts, but instead I was building muscle, getting paid for it, and I was HOT.

.....once remarked, "if it was raining soup, the Irish would run out with forks!"

Behan also told a nun, tending to him during his many futile attempts to dry out, "bless you, sister. May all your sons be bishops!"

while his brother, Sean, moved to Boston.

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."
