Try this tongue twister-- The sixth sheik's sixth sheep's sick.

I've had a good laugh with many Polish and Czech people, but that wouldn't fit well with the prejudices of a xenophobic one-track bigot.

He is a typical Irishman he has a chip on both shoulders. Irish Alzheimer is when you forget everything except the grudges.

Woundedknee for a guy like you, who goes to extreme measures, to remind us of the importance of the Gaelic language and how you are so fluent in speaking it,I find it a little strange that a migrant not speaking English to you, really troubled you so much.Should you not be more concerned if the guy did not speak Gaelic to you, considering your paranoia at losing your culture, I would think that you should ,and want all others, to converse in the Gaelic language at all times.Meanwhile, lighten up and enjoy the Irish humor, it is not good to be in pain with so much misery.

I enjoyed your jokes especially the tongue twister 'Irish Wrist Watch'. The most famous and most difficult European word to say is the word Scheveningen, which is the name of a district in the Hague, Holland. During the war it was used as test word to discover if a person really was an Hollander'ser, or a possible spy. Suffice to say no German could pronounce it. It's pronounced: Schave-Venn...neng...ninng..gger. (I think) Scheveningen is one of the eight districts of The Hague, as well as a subdistrict of that city. Scheveningen is a modern seaside resort with a long sandy beach, an esplanade, a pier, and a lighthouse.Scheveningen Scheveningen is one of the eight districts of The Hague, as well as a subdistrict of that city.

johnshiel: I am not miserable, but I am right. Don't you have any views on serious issues?

w-knee, you're determined to be miserable... why would anyone bother to talk you out of your choice?

Pretty unimpressive set of "jokes". But it does remind us that Mass Immigration is fundamentally changing Irish culture. And humor is a vital part of any culture. Or lack of it. When you go to Ireland all those morose Eastern Europeans everywhere--not a smile in sight. It's so depressing. With all their defects, whenever more than one Irish get together you'll hear laughter and at least attempts at witticisms. But the vast influx of other cultures into Ireland is destroying that. I've seen it myself. It was always the custom to try some light conversation and wit with an Irish worker--say a retail clerk, or a tradesman who came to your home. Don't bother trying that with the Poles and their ilk. They either won't understand the language or they won't understand the humor. In fact it was a little incident such as this that started to change my thinking about the benefits of Mass Immigration. Maybe ten years ago I was staying in a hotel in Dublin. There was a problem with my window, so they sent someone up to fix it. I attempted to engage the guy in the normal Dublin repartee that I had enjoyed for years. His reply: I no spik English. In that epiphany began my road to outright opposition to foreign settlement. All that culture and tradition of humor and wit, I thought, and it is being thrown out. And for what? Ireland loses an Irish person for every foreign migrant who arrives. Will anyone convince me that that is a gain for Ireland?

This one at the expense of the English Manners: An uppercrust Englishman said to his friend on the platform as the train pulled away: Thanks awfully for a lovely week-end ...and by the way; your wife is wonderful in bed! The sat down opposite an Irishman who couldn't resist asking. Sorry,Sur...but did I hear you say dat mans wife 'is wonderful in bed'? ~ 'yes you did. Er...she ISN't actually - but he's SUCH such an AWFULLY nice chap!'

Nice to know that no matter how hard the times become, a little bit of craic goes a long way. Thanks for this.

How do you confuse an Irish navvy? Put a shovel and spade against the wall and ask him to take his pick.

nicely done

While they gave me a chuckle and a nice change from the norm I have to say they are no where close to the top 10 Irish jokes. I have heard many that are a lot funnier. But thanks anyway. I enjoyed them.

Thanks, comic relief, instead of depressing news is always welcome.

the bagpipe joke gave me a healthy laugh... seems to touch exactly on the truth that they are as annoying as hell...
