Irish Laughs

Casey married a rich widow, but they didn’t get along. One day she said to him, «If it wasn’t for my money, that new television wouldn’t be here. If it wasn’t for my money, that grand piano wouldn’t be here. If it wasn’t for my money, this house wouldn’t be here.»

Casey mumbled, «If it wasn’t for your money, I wouldn’t be here.»

Mrs. Dugan and Mrs. Riley were talking one day about Mr. Riley and his constant drinking. Mrs. Dugan said, «I have an idea about how to stop him from spending so much time at the pub. Every night he comes home through the cemetery. One night you should get disguised and spook him when he comes staggering through.»

So Mrs. Riley waited in the cemetery one night until she heard her husband coming. She jumped up and a startled Riley said, «Who are you??»

Mrs. Riley replied, «I am the devil!»

With that, Riley shook her hand and said, «Glad to meet ya, I’m married to your sister.»

An Irish couple, whose married bliss was not without a few «squalls» received a humble lecture from their priest regarding their disgraceful quarrels.

«Why, that dog and cat you have agree better than you.»

«If yer reverence’ll tie them together, ye’ll soon change yer mind.»
