Here's an Irish joke. Paddy goes to the doctor and says, 'Doctor, I keep getting this pain in me eye when I drink tea.' The doctor says, 'Take the spoon out of the mug before you drink.' Another story could be about an Irish leprechaun who was always up to mischief in the village. He would move things around and make the villagers think they were going crazy. One day, a young lad caught him in the act and they became friends, and the leprechaun started using his magic for good, like making the crops grow better.
A priest in Ireland was driving down a country road when a policeman stopped him. The priest asked, 'Is there a problem, officer?' The policeman replied, 'You were speeding, Father.' The priest said, 'Oh, forgive me, I was daydreaming about my sermon.' The policeman said, 'Well, I'll let you off with a warning, but next time, slow down.' The priest drove off slowly. A few miles down the road, the policeman saw the priest's car pulled over. He walked up and asked, 'Is there a problem, Father?' The priest said, 'I'm not sure, I just stopped to give this rosary a speeding ticket.' This is a funny play on the priest's piety and the situation of getting a speeding ticket.
Joke: An Irishman is walking along the beach when he finds a magic lamp. He rubs it and a genie pops out. The genie says he'll grant the Irishman one wish. The Irishman says, 'I'm a bit lonely, can you make everyone in Ireland like me?' The genie snaps his fingers and says, 'Done!' The Irishman looks around and says, 'Who the hell are you?' Story: In a small Irish village, there was a pub where all the locals would gather. One night, a stranger came in and started boasting about how he could out - drink anyone in the village. An old Irishman took up the challenge. After many pints, the stranger passed out and the old Irishman just laughed and said, 'You should know not to challenge an Irishman in his own pub!'
Here's one. An Irishman walks out of a bar. Yes, that's the whole joke. It plays on the expectation that there should be more to the story but the simplicity of it is the humor.
I told my wife she was drawing her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised. This is a simple but humorous one liner. The unexpected reaction of the wife after being told about her eyebrows makes it funny. It's a very common situation in daily life where small remarks can lead to funny moments.
