OK - I think this is OK - if not forgive me and remove it... ...



Box Donation



A married Irishman went into the confessional and said to his

priest, "I almost had an affair with another woman. "



The priest said, "What do you mean, almost?"



The Irishman said, "Well, we got undressed and rubbed together, but

then I stopped. "



The priest said, "Rubbing together is the same as putting it in. You're not

to see that woman again. For your penance, say five Hail Mary's and put $50

in the poor box. "



The Irishman left the confessional, said his prayers, and then walked over

to the poor box.



He paused for a moment and then started to leave.



The priest, who was watch ing, quickly ran over to him saying, "I saw that.

You didn't put any money in the poor box!"



The Irishman replied, "Yeah, but I rubbed the $50 on the box, and according

to you, that's the same as putting it in!"

hammersley, in Britain if one comes out with a reply or saying that sounds odd, the response is, "That's a bit Irish. " not derogatory but not quite understandable. In the British Army if one was put on a charge for an infringement (not real serious of course) if you came up with an excuse that hadn't been heard before, or grossly unbelievable but could carry it off well, often one got off. All the Irish I knew or heard of always got off, and their responses were so unique, worthy of a Gold Medal, talk of Blarney, I'm sure officers were thought they were privileged to have to listen to the story.

A few years ago and my friend told me that there was a small old steel bridge that was going to be scrapped. This Irishman heard of it so took his truck and cutting gear intending to steal it. He cut it up and loaded it. Trouble was, that bridge was the only access to the main road. He was caught driving around the field looking for an outlet, until he ran out of fuel. The case was pending in court so I never heard how he got off.
