The O'Malleys

"Irish Telephony"

German scientists dug 50 meters underground
and discovered small pieces of copper. After
studying these pieces for a long time, Germany
announced that the ancient Germans 25,000
years ago had a nationwide telephone network.

Naturally, the British government was not that
easily impressed. They ordered their own
scientists to dig even deeper. 100 meters down,
they found small pieces of glass, and they
soon announced that the ancient Brits 35,000
years ago already had a nationwide fiber net.

Irish scientists were outraged. They dug 200
meters underground, but found absolutely
nothing. They concluded that the ancient Irish
55,000 years ago had cellular telephones.

"The O'Malleys" (A LadyHawke's Favorite)

Two Irish men meet in a bar. A man stumbles up
to the only other patron in a bar and asks if he
could buy him a drink. "Why, of course," comes
the reply.

The first man then asks: "Where are you from?"

"I'm from Ireland," replies the second man.

The first man responds: "You don't say, I'm from
Ireland too! Let's have another round to Ireland."

"Of course," replies the second man.

Curious, the first man then asks: "Where in
Ireland are you from?"

"Dublin," comes the reply.

"I can't believe it," says the first man. "I'm from
Dublin too! Let's have another drink to Dublin."

"Of course," replies the second man.

Curiosity again strikes and the first man asks:
"What school did you go to?"

"Saint Mary's," replies the second man, "I
graduated in '62."

"This is unbelievable!" the first man says. "I
went to Saint Mary's and I graduated in '62,
too!"

About that time in comes one of the regulars
and sits down at the bar. "What's been going
on?" he asks the bartender.

"Oh, nothing much," replies the bartender.

"The O'Malley twins are drunk again."
