Daily Irish Joke

Sean and Shamus worked for the electric in Dungarvan, County Waterford. One day they were repairing a transformer that had blown high up over the alley of a well-frequented house of ill repute. For the bold there was the front door, but for those who didn’t want it to be known, there was a back door from the alley with a little light over it. Normally, you would have to be right at the door to see the entrance but Sean and Shamus had an excellent view and they were working well into the evening.

Sean poked Shamus: “Would you look at that, now. Isn’t that His Hoityness the Mayor goin’ into Mary’s?”

Shamus replied, “Aye, it is, it is. To think a man of such high stature
would stoop to use such a place. It makes you wonder what the world is comin’ to.”

A bit later, Shamus pokes Sean: “Saints above us! I don’t believe me eyes. Its the new teacher and just look at him, sneaking inta Mary’s like some cat burglar.”

Sean said “Oh! and a shame it is, too. How can we trust such a man with our wee ones?”

And then another figure comes furtively down the alley, glances around, and makes a swift move to the door. “Oh, Sean, no. Its Father Murphy and now he’s goin’ in now.” And with that he doffs his hat and looks morose. Sean as he doffs his own hat: “Aye, a tragic day it is today. One of them poor unfortunate women must have been terrible sick for them to send for the Priest like that for Last Rites.”
