Courtesy of Tim, IGTF, 2005! Thought it was worth posting; might get a laugh; shouldn't cause offence, but might; may add a new word or two to somebody's vocab!
Here's a joke some of you may have heard in English:
An Mháistreás Scoile: Tá cúig éan ina suí ar chraobh, a Sheáin.
Maraíonn tú ceann acu le do raidhfil. Cé mhéad acu atá fágtha?
Johnny: Ceann ar bith! Scanraigh an t-urchar chun siúil iad.
An MS: Ní hea. Is é ceithre éan an freagra ceart. Ach is maith liom do cuid réasúnaíochta.
Johnny: An bhfuil cead agam ceist mar sin a chur ort, a Mháistreás?
An MS: Bhuel, umm, ceart go leor.
Johnny: Tá triúr ban ina suí ar bhinse sa bpáirc. Tá an lá te agus táid ag ithe reoiteoige. Tá bean amháin ag líochan a cuid reoiteoige. Tá bean eile á diúl. Baineann an treas bean greimeanna bídeacha aisti. Cé acu atá pósta?
An MS: Ummm, uhh, níl a fhios agam . . . an bhean a dhiúlann a cuid
reoiteoige?
Johnny: Ní hea. An bhean a bhfuil fáinne ar a méar. Ach is maith
liom do chuid réasúnaíochta!
