Two Irishmen walk into a pet shop in Dingle. They head to the

bird section and Gerry says to Paddy, "Dat's dem." The owner

comes over and asks if he can help them.

"Yeah, we'll take four of dem dere little budgies in dat cage up

dere," says Gerry.

The owner puts the budgies in a paper bag. Paddy and Gerry pay

for the birds, leave the shop and get into Gerry's truck to drive

to the top of the ConnorPass.



At the ConnorPass, Gerry looks down at the 1000' foot drop and

says,"Dis looks like a grand place." He takes two birds out of

the bag, puts them on his shoulders and jumps off the cliff.

Paddy watches as Gerry falls all the way to the bottom, killing Himself

stone dead.

Looking down at the remains of his best pal, Paddy shakes his

head and says, "Bajasus. Dis budgie jumping is too dangerous

for me!"

THERE'S MORE

Moment's later, Seamus arrives up at ConnorPass.He's been to

the Pet shop too and walks up to the edge of the cliff carrying

another paper bag in one hand and a shotgun in the other. "Hi, Paddy.

Watch dis,"

Seamus says. He takes a parrot from the bag and throws himself

over the edge of the cliff. Paddy watches as half way down, Seamus

takes the gun and shoots the parrot. Seamus continues to plummet down

and down until he hits the bottom and breaks every bone in his body.

Paddy shakes his head and says, "And I'm never trying dat

parrotshooting either!"

IT IS NOT OVER YET

Paddy is just getting over the shock of losing two friends when

Sean Og appears. He's also been to the pet shop and is carrying a

paper bag

Out of which he pulls a chicken. Sean Og then hurls himself off

the cliff and disappears down and down until he hits a rock and

breaks his spine. Once more Paddy shakes his head.

"Bajasus, lads. First dere was Gerry with his budgie jumping,

den Seamus parrotshooting...and now Sean Og and his

hengliding!"

This Irishman (named Gerry) laughed -and yet I'm sore at you Sassenagh! We Celts passed through Yorkshire a long time ago but didn't we leave behind love and affection for us?
