DEATH OF 3 CORKMEN
Two Corkmen walk into a pet shop. Right away they go over to the bird
section. Gerry says to Paddy, "Dat's dem". The clerk comes over and
asks if he can help them. "Yeah, we'll take four of dem dere birds in dat
cage op dere," says Gerry, "Put dem in a peeper bag." The clerk does and
the two guys pay for the birds and leave the shop.
They get into Gerry's van and drive until they are high up in the hills
and stop at the top of a cliff with a 500-foot drop. "Dis look loike a
grand place, eh?" says Gerry. "Oh, yeh, dis looks good," replies
Paddy.
They flip a coin and Gerry wins the toss. "I guess I git to go first,
eh Paddy?" says Gerry. He then takes two birds out of the bag, places
them on his shoulders and jumps off the cliff.
Paddy watches as his mate drops off the edge and goes straight down
for a few seconds followed by a 'SPLAT'! As Paddy looks over the edge of
the cliff he shakes his head and says, "Fock dat, dis budgie jumpin' is
too fockin' dangerous for me."
======- PART TWO =======
A minute later, Seamus arrives. He too has been to the pet shop and he
walks up carrying the familiar 'peeper bag'. He pulls a parrot out of the
bag, and then Paddy notices that, in his other hand, Seamus is
carrying a gun.
"Hi, Paddy. Watch this," Seamus says and launches himself over the
edge of the cliff. Paddy watches as half way down, Seamus takes the gun
and blows the parrot's head off. Seamus continues to plummet until there
is a SPLAT!, as he joins Gerry's remains at the bottom. Paddy shakes his
head and says, "An' oim never troyin' dat parrotshooting nider."
======- PART THREE =======
A few minutes after Seamus splats himself Sean strolls up. He too has
been to the pet shop and he walks up carrying the familiar 'peeper bag'.
Instead of a parrot he pulls a chicken out of the bag, and launches
himself off the cliff with the usual result.
Once more Paddy shakes his head - "Fock me Sean, first der was Gerry
wit his budgie jumping, den Seamus parrot shooting and now you fockin'
hen gliding |
