    A man had just Boarded and settled into his seat next to the window on the plane when another man sat down in the aisle seat and put
    his Black Labrador in the middle seat next to the man.

    The first man looked very quizzically at the dog and asked why the dog was allowed on the plane.

    The second man explained that he was from the Police Drugs Enforcement Agency and that the dog
    was a 'sniffing dog'.

    'His name is Sniffer and he's the best there is.
    I'll show you once we get airborne, when I put him to work.'

    The plane took off, and once it has leveled out, the Policeman said, 'Watch this.'

    He told Sniffer to 'search'.

    Sniffer jumped down, walked along the aisle, and finally sat very purposefully next to a woman for several
    seconds.

    Sniffer then returned to his seat and put one paw on the policeman's arm.

    The Policeman said, 'Good boy', and he turned to the man
    and said, 'That woman is in possession of marijuana, I'm making a note of her
    seat number and the authorities will apprehend her when we land.

    'Gee, that's pretty good,' replied the first man.

    Once again, the Policeman sent Sniffer to search the aisles.

    The Lab sniffed about, sat down beside a man for a few seconds, returned to its seat, and this time he placed two paws
    on the agent's arm.

    The Policeman said, 'Two paws mean that man is carrying cocaine, so again, I'm making a note of his seat number for the
    police.'

    'I like it!' said his seat mate.

    The Policeman then told Sniffer to 'search' again.

    Sniffer walked up and down the aisles for a little while, sat down for a moment, and then came racing back to the agent,
    jumped into the middle seat and proceeded to sh*t all over the place.

    The first man was really disgusted by this behaviour and couldn't figure out how or why a well-trained dog would behave like that.

    So he asked the Policeman, 'What's going on?'

    The Policeman nervously replied, 'He's just found a bomb.'

    Murphy went to the Olympic stadium and tried to get in but got turned away because he didn't have a ticket. He walked around for a while, and then noticed another door which said Athletes Entrance. He watched people with their equipment going in and listened.

    One guy had a 12 foot long stick, and Murphy heard him say "Wilson, Canada, pole vault".
    The next one had a round thing, the size of a dinner plate, and he heard "Stanislav, Poland, discus".
    Yet another had a metal ball on a thin cable, and he heard him say "Igorski, Russia, hammer".
    Murphy hatched a plan, went away, and returned an hour later and joined the athletes queue. He was carrying a large roll of wire, some wooden stakes and a large mallet. He got to the door and said "Murphy, Ireland, fencing". :D

    An Irishman, an Englishman and a beautiful girl are riding together in a train, with the beautiful girl in the middle.The train goes through a tunnel and it gets completely dark. Suddenly there is a kissing sound and then a slap!

The train comes out of the tunnel. The woman and the Irishman are sitting there looking perplexed. The Englishman is bent over holding his face which is red from an apparent slap.

The Englishman is thinking "d*mn it, that Mick must have tried to kiss the girl, she thought it was me and slapped me."

The girl is thinking, "That Englishman must have moved to kiss me, and kissed the Irishman instead and got slapped."

The Irishman is thinking, "If this train goes through another tunnel, I could make another kissing sound and slap that Englishman again!!

    A Texan walks into a pub in Ireland and clears his voice to the crowd of drinkers. He says, "I hear you Irish are a bunch of hard drinkers. I'll give $500 American dollars to anybody in here who can drink 10 pints of Guinness back-to-back."
    The room is quiet, and no one takes up the Texan's offer. One man even leaves.
    Thirty minutes later the same gentleman who left shows back up and taps the Texan on the shoulder. "Is your bet still good?" asks the Irishman.
    The Texan says yes and asks the bartender to line up 10 pints of Guinness. Immediately the Irishman tears into all 10 of the pint glasses, drinking them all back-to-back.
    The other pub patrons cheer as the Texan sits in amazement. The Texan gives the Irishman the $500 and says, "If ya don't mind me askin', where did you go for that 30 minutes you were gone?"
    The Irishman replies, "Oh... I had to go to the pub down the street to see if I could do it first."

    A Kerryman rang Aer Lingus and asked how long it took to fly from Dublin to London.
"Just a minute sir," said the girl on the desk.
"Thank you," said the Kerryman and hung up.


    Murphy told Quinn that his wife was driving him to drink. Quinn thinks he's very lucky because his own wife makes him walk.

    The late Bishop Sheen stated that the reason the Irish fight so often among themselves is that they're always assured of having a worthy opponent.

    
An American lawyer asked, "Paddy, why is it that whenever you ask an Irishman a question, he answers with another question? "Who told you that?" asked Paddy.

    Reilly went to trial for armed robbery. The jury foreman came out and announced, "Not guilty." "That's grand!" shouted Reilly. "Does that mean I can keep the money?"

    Q. What do you call an Irishman who knows how to control a wife? A. A bachelor.

    Finnegan: My wife has a terrible habit of staying up 'til two o'clock in the morning. I can't break her of it. Keenan: What on earth is she doin' at that time? Finnegan: Waitin' for me to com

    Taxes .......... explained

    THE TAX SYSTEM EXPLAINED IN BEER

    Suppose that once a week, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to £100.

    If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this..

    The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
    The fifth would pay £1.
    The sixth would pay £3.
    The seventh would pay £7.
    The eighth would pay £12.
    The ninth would pay £18.
    And the tenth man (the richest) would pay £59

    So, that's what they decided to do.

    The ten men drank in the bar every week and seemed quite happy with the arrangement until, one day, the owner caused them a little problem. "Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your weekly beer by £20.” Drinks for the ten men would now cost just £80.

    The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes. So the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free but what about the other six men? The paying customers? How could they divide the £20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share? They realized that £20 divided by six is £3.33 but if they subtracted that from everybody's share then not only would the first four men still be drinking for free but the fifth and sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer.


    So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fairer to reduce each man's bill by a higher percentage. They decided to follow the principle of the tax system they had been using and he proceeded to work out the amounts he suggested that each should now pay.

    And so, the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (a 100% saving).
    The sixth man now paid £2 instead of £3 (a 33% saving).
    The seventh man now paid £5 instead of £7 (a 28% saving).
    The eighth man now paid £9 instead of £12 (a 25% saving).
    The ninth man now paid £14 instead of £18 (a 22% saving).
    And the tenth man now paid £49 instead of £59 (a 16% saving).
    Each of the last six was better off than before with the first four continuing to drink for free.

    But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare their savings. "I only got £1 out of the £20 saving," declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, "but he got £10"

    "Yes, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved £1 too. It's unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me"

    "That's true" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get £10 back, when I only got £2? The wealthy get all the breaks"

    "Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison, "we didn't get anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor" The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

    The next week the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had their beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important - they didn't have enough money between all of them to pay for even half of the bill.

    And that, boys and girls, journalists and government ministers, is how our tax system works. The people who already pay the highest taxes will naturally get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy and they just might not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas, where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

    A husband and his wife agreed that anytime they want to have sex, they will call it a "PHONE CALL" so that the kids will not decode. One day, the husband sent his son to tell his mother that he wants to make a "phone call".

    Mother replies: Tell your father that the Network is bad today.

    Husband: Tell your mother that if there is no Network at home, I will go to the "Public Phone".

    Wife sent back, tell your father that if dares goes to a "Public Phone", then I will open a "Call Center" at home.
