A doctor in Dublin wanted to get some time off work to go fishing, so he approached his assistant. "Murphy, I am going fishing tomorrow and don't want to close the clinic. So, I would like you to look after the clinic and take care of all me usual patients."
"Yes sir, oi will!" answered Murphy.
The doctor went fishing next day and, on returning to the clinic the following day, enquired: "How was your day, Murphy?"
Murphy told him that he took care of three patients. "The first one called in with a headache, so oi gave him some Paracetamol."
"Bravo Murphy lad, I like it! And the second one?" asked the doctor.
"The second one had colic and oi gave him Gaviscon, so oi did sir," said Murphy.
"Bravo, bravo! You're unusually good at this Murphy; and what about the third one?" asked the doctor.
"Well sir, oi was sittin' here quietly moindin' me own business when suddenly da door flew open and a young woman burst in, so she did, like a bolt outta the blue! She tore off her clothes, removin' everyt'ing includin' her bra and panties and lay down on the table, spreadin' her legs and shoutin': "Help me for the love of St Patrick! For five years oi've not seen any man!"
"Tunderin' lard Jesus, Murphy, what did ye do?" asked the doctor.
"Oi put drops in her eyes."

Dermot, from Dublin, appeared on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" and towards the end of the program he'd already won half a million euros.
"You have done very well so far," said Chris Tarrant, the show's host and presenter, "but, worryingly, you've only got one lifeline left - the 'Phone a Friend'. Everything's riding on this question, for a million euros. Do you want to go for it?"
"Yes," said Dermot "Oi'll have a go!"
"Okay, Dermot - which of the following birds does NOT build its own nest?
a) Sparrow
b) Thrush
c) Magpie
d) Cuckoo?"
"Oi'm afraid oi haven't got a clue" said Dermot, ''so oi'm gonna have to use that last lifeline and phone my friend Paddy in Dublin"
Dermot phoned his friend and told him the circumstances and repeated the question.
"Why, that's simple!" cried Paddy; "It's a cuckoo."
"Are you certain?"
"Yes, I am."
Dermot hung up the phone and told Chris: "Oi'll go with cuckoo."
"Is that your final answer?" asked Chris.
"That it is."
There was a long pause and then the presenter screamed: "Cuckoo is the right answer! You've won a million euros!"
The next night Dermot invited Paddy to their local pub to buy him a drink.
"Hey Paddy, just how in Heaven's name did you know that the cuckoo doesn't build his own nest?"
"Easy...! Because he lives in a fookin' clock!" - People's Names Category:
