    First up on our list of jokes about the Irish that will leave you in stitches is this one about an Irishman at a job interview.

    As part of the interview, the Irishman was asked to complete a test. Drawing six vertical lines in pairs of two on a page, the interviewer asked the Irishman,

    “Could you please show me a clever way to make this into nine?”

    After thinking for a while, the Irishman took the pencil and drew some leaves atop the three pairs of lines.

    He handed the paper back to the interviewer, and the interviewer looked at the drawings and said, “But that is not nine!”

    “Oh yes, it is!” said the Irishman with a broad Irish accent, “Tree plus tree plus tree makes nine!”

    9. Sunday opening hours – nothing opens on a Sunday

    Paddy left Dublin to go up to Belfast for a bit of skydiving on a Sunday evening. Later, he was found in a tree by a farmer.

    “What happened?” asked the farmer.

    Liam replied, “My parachute failed to open!”

    “Well,” said the farmer, “If you had asked the locals before you jumped, they would have told you nothing opens here on a Sunday.”

    8. Laces undone – confusing instructions

    Paddy says, “Yeah, it’s these bloody instructions.”

    John said, “What instructions, Paddy?”

    Paddy says, “Underneath the shoe, it says ‘Taiwan’.”

    An Irish priest is driving down to New York and gets stopped for speeding in Connecticut.

    The policeman smells alcohol on the priest’s breath and then sees an empty wine bottle on the floor of the car.

    He says, “Sir, have you been drinking?”

    “Just water,” says the priest.

    The policeman replies, “Then why do I smell wine?”

    The priest looks at the bottle and says, “Good lord! He’s done it again!”

    3. 24 hours to live – bad news and worse news

    Dr O’Mahony phones his patient and says, “I have bad news and worse news, John.”

    “Oh, dear!” John replies. “What’s the bad news?” asks the patient.

    The doctor replies: “You only have 24 hours to live.”

    “That’s terrible,” says the patient. “How can the news possibly be worse?”

    Dr O’Mahony replies, “I’ve been trying to contact you since yesterday.”

    2. Two brothers – three shots, please

    An Irishman goes into a bar in America and orders three whiskeys. The barman asks, “Would it be better if I put all three shots in one glass?”

    The Irishman replies, “No! I have two other brothers back at home, so every time I come into a pub, I order a shot for them both.”

    The following week, the Irishman orders just two whiskeys.

    The barman asks, “Did something happen to one of your brothers?”

    “Oh no,” replies the Irishman. “I just decided to quit drinking!”

    1. Call me an ambulance – not what I meant
