As an Irishman living in Ireland I reserve the right to tell the following Irish joke.
A man was walking to his local pub for his usual evening drink. As he approached he saw a nun who began to hector him with “Tink before you drink. The demon drink is the work of the devil”.
The man gets a bit annoyed and decides to have a go at the nun by saying “Do you know what you’re talking about. You’ve probably never had a drink so don’t be hypocritical by shouting at us who do”.
The nun looked downcast and told the man that morally he was right.
The man then said “Why don’t you have a drink now and then you can return to your preaching”.
The nun said “Well I might try one. I hear women normally drink gin. Could you bring me out one in a cup as I don’t want people to see me holding a glass”.
The man continued on into the bar and said to the barman “Could I have a pint of Guinness and a double gin in a cup”.
The barman replied “Is that bloody nun back again”.

Patton staggered home very late after another evening with his drinking buddy, Paddy. He took off his shoes to avoid waking his wife, Kathleen.
He tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading to their upstairs bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step. As he caught himself by grabbing the banister, his body swung around and he landed heavily on his rump. A whiskey bottle in each back pocket broke and made the landing especially painful.
Managing not to yell, Patton sprung up, pulled down his pants, and looked in the hall mirror to see that his butt cheeks were cut and bleeding. He managed to quietly find a full box of Band-Aids and began putting a Band-Aid as best he could on each place he saw blood.
He then hid the now almost empty Band-Aid box and shuffled and stumbled his way to bed.
In the morning, Patton woke up with searing pain in both his head and butt and Kathleen staring at him from across the room.
She said, ‘You were drunk again last night weren’t you?’
Patton said, ‘Why you say such a mean thing?’
‘Well,’ Kathleen said, ‘it could be the open front door, it could be the broken glass at the bottom of the stairs, it could be the drops of blood trailing through the house, it could be your bloodshot eyes, but mostly ……. it’s all those Band-Aids stuck on the hall mirror.

I would like to share an experience with you about drinking and driving. As you well know, some of us have been known to have had brushes with the authorities on our way home after a holiday party or two over the years. A couple of nights ago, after band practice had a few too many beers. Knowing full well I may have been slightly over the limit, I did something I’ve never done before – I took a bus home. I arrived home safely and without incident, which was a real surprise since I had never driven a bus before and am not sure where I got this one.

True story:
My father was in Ireland some years ago, and went for a walk in the countryside. He walked into a village, and there was a shop/newsagents/pub. The pub was connected to the shop/newsagents by an internal doorway, also having an outside door as well. My father bought a newspaper, then went into the pub. The man who’d just served my father followed him into the pub, and it turned out he was both the pub landlord and the shop proprietor. My father asked him for a pint of beer.
“I’m sorry sir, I can’t serve you, the bar won’t be open for an hour.” he said.
“That’s ok”, my father replied, taking a seat, “I’ll just read the paper in the meantime.”
“Well, would you like a beer while you’re waiting?”
Got to love the logic behind that.
