THE IRISH CANDLE STORY

Mrs. Donovan was walking down O'Connell Street in Dublin when she met up with Father Flaherty.

The Father said, "Top o' the mornin' to ye! Aren't ye Mrs. Donovan, and didn't I marry ye and yer husband 2 years ago?"

She replied, "Aye, that ye did, Father."

The Father asked, "And be there any wee ones yet?"

She replied, "No, not yet, Father.

"The Father said, "Well now, I'm going to Rome next week and I'll light a candle for ye and yer husband."

She replied, "Oh, thank ye, Father." They then parted ways.

Some years later they met again.

The Father asked, "Well now, Mrs.Donovan, how are ye these days?"

She replied, "Oh, very well, Father!"

The Father asked, "And tell me, have ye any wee ones yet?"

She replied, "Oh, yes, Father! Three sets of twins and four singles, ten in all!"

The Father said, "That's wonderful! How is yer loving husband doing?"

She replied, "E's gone to Rome to blow out yer candle."

Bah da bing ...

One day a man came home from work earlier than usual and caught his wife in bed with his best friend. Enraged, the husband grabbed a gun and shot his friend to death.

His wife said, "Ya' know, if you go on like this,you're going to lose ALL your friends."

A receptionist says to a little old man, "That will be a $5 co-pay please."

He hands her a $20, and she asks "Do you have anything smaller?"

He replies, "Yes, but I'm sure you don't want to see it."

The day I started my construction job, I was in the office filling out an employee form when I came to the section that asked:

Single____, Married____, Divorced____.

I marked Single.

Glancing at the man next to me, who was also filling out his form, I noticed he hadn't marked any of the blanks.

Instead. he had written, 'Yes, in that order.'
