the pro how he<br />

Pro, “you’ll never<br />

be a pro, but you<br />

can get personal<br />

enjoyment out of<br />

the game and the<br />

exercise will do you<br />

good.<br />

“What should I be<br />

working on?” asked<br />

Un-real<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

An Irishman, by the<br />

name of O’Malley<br />

proposed to his girl on<br />

St. Patrick’s Day. He<br />

gave her a ring with<br />

a synthetic diamond.<br />

The excited young<br />

lass showed it to her<br />

father, a jeweler. He<br />

took one look at it and<br />

saw it wasn’t real.<br />

Learning it wasn’t real<br />

the girl returned to<br />

her future husband,<br />

protesting vehemently<br />

about his cheapness.<br />

“‘It was in honor of<br />

St. Patrick’s Day,” he<br />

smiled.<br />

“I gave you a ‘sham’<br />

rock.”<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

Patrick wanted to be<br />

an accountant, so he<br />

went and took the<br />

Irish accountancy<br />

exam.<br />

Examiner: If I give<br />

you two rabbits<br />

and then I give you<br />

another two rabbits,<br />

how many rabbits do<br />

you have?<br />

Patrick: Five.<br />

Examiner: No, listen<br />

carefully again. If I<br />

give you two rabbits<br />

and then I give you<br />

another two rabbits,<br />

how many rabbits<br />

have you got?<br />

Patrick: Five.<br />

Examiner: Let’s try<br />

this another way. If I<br />

give you two bottles<br />

of beer and then I<br />

give you another two<br />

bottles of beer, how<br />

many bottles of beer<br />

have you got?<br />

Patrick: Four.<br />

Examiner: Good!<br />

Now, if I give you two<br />

rabbits and then I<br />

give you another two<br />

rabbits, how many<br />

rabbits have you got?<br />

Patrick: Five.<br />

Examiner: How on<br />

earth do you work<br />

out that two lots of<br />

two rabbits is five?<br />

Paddy: I’ve already<br />

got one rabbit at<br />

home.<br />

Better Today<br />

Submitted by Steve Simard<br />

A great old man<br />

was celebrating his<br />

100th birthday, got<br />

a visit from the local<br />

television station at<br />

the nursing home to<br />

interview him.<br />

The reporter asked,<br />

“Are you able to get<br />

out and walk much?”<br />

A pregnant Irish woman<br />

from Dublin gets<br />

in a car accident and<br />

falls into a deep coma.<br />

Asleep for nearly six<br />

months, when she<br />

wakes up she sees<br />

that she is no longer<br />

pregnant and frantically<br />

asks the doctor<br />

about her baby.<br />

The doctor replies,<br />

“Ma’am you had<br />

twins! A boy and a<br />

girl. Your brother from<br />

Cork came in and<br />

named them.”<br />

The woman thinks to<br />

herself, “Oh no, not<br />

my brother, he’s an<br />

idiot!” She asks the<br />

doctor, ‘What’s the<br />

girl’s name?”<br />

Fairly Well<br />

Submitted by Steve Simard<br />

I recently picked a<br />

new primary care<br />

physician. After two<br />

visits and exhaustive<br />

lab tests, he said<br />

I was doing “fairly<br />

well” for my age.<br />

A little concerned<br />

about that comment,<br />

I couldn’t resist<br />

asking him, “Do you<br />

think I’ll live to be<br />

80?”<br />

He asked, “Do you<br />

smoke tobacco or<br />

drink beer or wine?”<br />

“Oh no,” I replied.<br />

“I’m not doing drugs<br />

either.”<br />

Then he asked,<br />

“Do you eat rib-eye<br />

steaks and barbecued<br />

ribs?”<br />

I said, “No, my other<br />

doctor said that all<br />

red meat is very<br />

unhealthy.”<br />

“Do you spend a lot<br />

of time in the sun,<br />

like playing golf,<br />

sailing, hiking, or<br />

bicycling?”<br />

“No, I don’t,” I said.<br />

He asked, “Do you<br />

gamble or drive fast<br />

cars?”<br />

“No,” I said. “I don’t<br />

do any of those<br />

things.<br />

”He looked at me<br />

and said, “Then why<br />

do you want to live to<br />

be 80?”<br />

“Everyone thinks they have the best dog. And none of them are wrong.” — W.R. Purche<br />

Backup<br />

Plan<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

Two elderly ladies<br />

run into each other<br />

at the drug store<br />

after not seeing one<br />

another for some<br />

time. After inquiring<br />

about each other’s<br />

health, one asked<br />

how the other’s husband<br />

was doing.<br />

“Oh! Harold died last<br />

week. He went out to<br />

the garden to dig up<br />

a couple potato’s for<br />

dinner, had a heart<br />

attack and dropped<br />

dead right there in<br />

the middle of the<br />

garden!”<br />

It’s a slow process, but quitting won’t speed it up.<br />

Out ‘n About at Saint Dominic Academy for the Winter Carnival<br />

“Oh dear! I’m very<br />

sorry.” replied her<br />

friend, “What did you<br />

do?”<br />

“I opened a can of<br />

baked beans<br />

instead.”<br />

Mail Order<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

Two Irish men,<br />

Kearney and O’Riordan<br />

were looking at<br />

a Mail order catalog<br />

and admiring the<br />

models. Kearney remarks<br />

to O’Riordan,<br />

“Have you seen the<br />

beautiful girls in this<br />

catalog?”<br />

O’Riordan replies,<br />

“Yes, they are very<br />

beautiful. And look at<br />

the price.”<br />

Kearney says, with<br />

wide eyes, “Wow,<br />

they aren’t very<br />

expensive. At this<br />

price, I’m buying<br />

one.”<br />

O’Riordan, smiles<br />

and pats him on the<br />

back. “Good idea.<br />

Order one and if<br />

she’s as beautiful as<br />

she is in the catalogue,<br />

I will get one,<br />

too.”<br />

Three weeks later,<br />

Kearney, the youngest<br />

of the two asks<br />

his friend, “Did you<br />

ever receive the girl<br />

you ordered from<br />

that catalog?”<br />

O’Riordan replies<br />

with a glint in his<br />

eye, “No, but it<br />

shouldn’t be long<br />

now, she sent all her<br />

clothes yesterday.”<br />

Work Habits<br />

Submitted by Jimbo<br />

The fact that I have more clothes to sleep in than to go out in, says a lot about me.<br />

One day a fisherman<br />

was lying on a beautiful<br />

beach, with his<br />

fishing pole propped<br />

up in the sand and<br />

his solitary line cast<br />

out into the sparkling<br />

blue surf. He was<br />

enjoying the warmth<br />

of the afternoon sun<br />

and the prospect of<br />

catching a fish.<br />

About that time, a<br />

businessman came<br />

walking down the<br />

beach, trying to<br />

relieve some of the<br />

stress of his workday.<br />

He noticed the fisherman<br />

sitting on the<br />

beach and decided<br />

to find out why this<br />

fisherman was fishing<br />

instead of working<br />

harder to make a<br />

living for himself and<br />

his family.<br />

“You aren’t going<br />

to catch many fish<br />

that way,” said the<br />

businessman to<br />

the fisherman, “you<br />

should be working<br />

rather than lying on<br />

the beach!”<br />

The fisherman looked<br />

up at the businessman,<br />

smiled and<br />

replied, “And what<br />

will my reward be?”<br />

“Well, you can get<br />

bigger nets and<br />

catch more fish!” was<br />

the businessman’s<br />

answer.<br />

“And then what will<br />

my reward be?”<br />

asked the fisherman,<br />

still smiling.<br />

The businessman replied,<br />

“You will make<br />

able to buy a boat,<br />

which will then result<br />

in larger catches of<br />

fish!”<br />

“And then what will<br />

my reward be?”<br />

asked the fisherman<br />

again.<br />

The businessman<br />

was beginning to get<br />

a little irritated with<br />

the fisherman’s questions.<br />

“You can buy a<br />

bigger boat, and hire<br />

some people to work<br />

for you!” he said.<br />

“And then what will<br />

my reward be?” repeated<br />

the fisherman.<br />

up a fleet of fishing<br />

boats, sail all over<br />

the world, and let<br />

all your employees<br />

catch fish for you!”<br />

Once again the fisherman<br />

asked, “And<br />

then what will my<br />

reward be?”<br />

The businessman<br />

was red with rage<br />

and shouted at the<br />

fisherman, “Don’t you<br />

understand that you<br />

can become so rich<br />

that you will never<br />

have to work for your<br />

living again! You can<br />

spend all the rest of<br />

your days sitting on<br />

this beach, looking at<br />

the sunset. You won’t<br />

have a care in the<br />

world!”<br />

The fisherman, still<br />

smiling, looked up<br />

and said, “And what<br />

do you think I’m doing<br />

right now?”<br />

I’m so broke I can’t even pay attention.<br />

The Safe<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

The financial situation<br />

had been<br />

very bad for several<br />

months. Because<br />

he was out of work<br />

and destitute, a<br />

young man decided<br />

to rob a bank. After<br />

days of observation,<br />

he chose a small<br />

satellite bank facility<br />

across the metropolitan<br />

area from where<br />

he was living. He<br />

spent several days<br />

planning every move.<br />

Late one dark moonless<br />

night he picked<br />

the lock on the rear<br />

door of the bank<br />

without difficulty.<br />

He stealthily crept<br />

through the bank to<br />

the place where he<br />

knew the safe stood.<br />

Then his troubles<br />

began. While trying<br />

to pick the lock on<br />

the safe, he set off<br />

the burglar alarm,<br />

but his careful preparation<br />

paid off. He<br />

had brought along<br />

a furniture dolly. He<br />

quickly loaded the<br />

small safe onto the<br />

dolly and rolled it out<br />

to his van.<br />

He drove to a<br />

friend’s house and<br />

explained his problem.<br />

He asked if, in<br />

exchange for some<br />

of the loot, he might<br />

store the safe in the<br />

friend’s garage for a<br />

few days. His friend<br />

assured him, “You<br />

can rest assured,<br />

your safe is secret<br />

with me!”<br />

Caddying for the<br />

elderly beginner<br />

had required great<br />

patience. He was<br />

doddery, but he<br />

was dogged, and<br />

he had sworn to<br />

break 100 before the<br />

summer was out.<br />

In fact, there was a<br />

bottle of single malt<br />

whiskey riding on it;<br />

the golfer’s faithful<br />

caddie would receive<br />

it when the magic<br />

score had been<br />

broken.<br />

Then arrived a day<br />

when persistence<br />

seemed about to pay<br />

off for both player<br />

and caddie. They<br />

were on the green<br />

at the 18th and only<br />

97 strokes had been<br />

made.<br />

Player and caddie<br />

were excited and<br />

in the grip of such<br />

emotion that it was<br />

no small wonder that<br />

the player sent his<br />

first putt racing six<br />

feet past the hole.<br />

In a flash, the caddie<br />

dropped the flagstick,<br />

picked up<br />

the ball and cried<br />

excitedly, “Well<br />

done, sir! You’ve<br />

done it! You’ve done<br />

it! Anyone would give<br />

you that.”<br />

After the Americans<br />

went to the Moon,<br />

Paddy and Seamus<br />

announced that the<br />

Kerry Men would go<br />

one better and send<br />

a man to the sun.<br />

Murphy objected. “If<br />

you send a man to<br />

the sun, he is sure to<br />

burn up!”<br />

“What do you think<br />

we are, stupid?”<br />

Seamus replied.<br />

“We’ll send our man<br />

at night!”<br />

Can’t Be<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

A police officer just<br />

knocked on my door<br />

and told me my dogs<br />

are chasing people<br />

on bikes.<br />

They can’t be! My<br />

dogs don’t even own<br />

you eat your homework,<br />

Tom: Because I<br />

Good<br />

Exercise<br />

Submitted by Jimbo<br />

The room was full of<br />

pregnant women and<br />

their partners, and<br />

the Lamaze class<br />

was in full swing.<br />

The instructor was<br />

teaching the women<br />

how to breathe<br />

properly, along with<br />

informing the men<br />

how to give the necessary<br />

assurances<br />

at this stage of the<br />

plan.<br />

The teacher then<br />

announced, “Ladies,<br />

exercise is good<br />

for you. Walking is<br />

especially beneficial.<br />

And, gentlemen, it<br />

wouldn’t hurt you to<br />

take the time to go<br />

walking with your<br />

partner!”<br />

The room really got<br />

quiet.<br />

Finally, a man in the<br />

middle of the group<br />

raised his hand.<br />

“Yes?” replied the<br />

teacher. “Is it all right<br />

if she carries a golf<br />

bag while we walk?”<br />

Winning<br />

Ways<br />

Submitted by Jimbo<br />

So after winning the<br />

game, I decided to<br />

throw the ball into<br />

the crowd, like they<br />

do on TV.<br />

Apparently, it’s unacceptable<br />

in bowling.<br />

Life is a<br />

Theater<br />

Invite Your Audience<br />

Carefully<br />

Not everyone is<br />

healthy enough to<br />

have a front row seat<br />

in our lives. There<br />

are some people in<br />

your life that need<br />

to be loved from a<br />

distance.<br />

It’s amazing what<br />

you can accomplish<br />

when you let go of,<br />

or at least minimize<br />

your time with draining,<br />

negative, incompatible,<br />

not going<br />

anywhere relationships<br />

or friendships.<br />

Observe the relationships<br />

around you.<br />

Pay close attention.<br />

Which ones lift and<br />

which ones lower?<br />

Which ones encourage<br />

and which ones<br />

discourage? Which<br />

ones are on a path<br />

of growth uphill and<br />

which ones are going<br />

downhill?<br />

When you leave<br />

certain people, do<br />

you feel better or<br />

feel worse? Which<br />

ones always have<br />

drama or don’t really<br />

understand, know or<br />

appreciate you?<br />

The more you seek<br />

quality, respect,<br />

growth, peace of<br />

mind, love and truth<br />

around you...the<br />

easier it will become<br />
