? Question - Why are Irish jokes so simple?

Answer - So the English can understand them.

Bert, at 70 years old, always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots, so seeing some on sale, he bought them and wore them home.
Walking proudly, he sauntered into the kitchen and said to his wife, ?Notice anything different about me??
Margaret at age 65, looked him over and replied, ?Nope?
Frustrated as all get out, Bert stormed off into the bathroom, undressed and walked back into the kitchen completely naked except for the new boots.
Again he asked Margaret, a little louder this time, ?Notice anything different NOW??
Margaret looked up and said in her best deadpan response, ?Bert, what's different? It's hanging down today, it was hanging down yesterday, and it'll be hanging down again tomorrow?
Furious, Bert yells out, ?And do you know why it's hanging own, Margaret??
?Nope. Not a clue?, she replied.
?It's hanging down because it's looking at my new boots!?
Without missing a beat old Margaret replies, ?Shoulda bought a hat, Bert. Shoulda bought a hat?.

The ATO decides to audit Grandpa, and summons him to their office.



The ATO auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his lawyer.



The auditor said, 'Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I'm not sure the ATO finds that believable.'



I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it,' says Grandpa. 'How about a demonstration?'



The auditor thinks for a moment and said, 'Okay. Go ahead.'



Grandpa says, 'I'll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.'



The auditor thinks a moment and says, 'It's a bet.'



Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it. The auditor's jaw drops.



Grandpa says, 'Now, I'll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye.'



Now the auditor can tell Grandpa isn't blind, so he takes the bet.



Grandpa removes his dentures and bites his good eye.



The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Grandpa's lawyer as a witness. He starts to get nervous.



'Want to go double or nothing?' Grandpa asks 'I'll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.'



The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there's no way this old guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he agrees again.



Grandpa stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can't make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor's desk.



The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win.



But Grandpa's own lawyer moans and puts his head in his hands.



'Are you okay?' the auditor asks.



'Not really,' says the lawyer. 'This morning, when Grandpa told me he'd been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and **** all over your desk and that you'd be happy about it!'

Guts or Balls

There is a medical distinction between ?Guts? and ?Balls?


We've heard colleagues referring to people with ?Guts?, or with ?Balls?


Do they, however, know the difference between them?


Here's the official distinction; straight from the British Medical Journal: Volume 323; Page 295; Section 7; Sub-paragraph 2.3

GUTS - Is arriving home late, after a night out with the lads, being met by your wife with a broom, and having the ?Guts? to ask: ?Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere??



BALLS - Is coming home late after a night out with the lads, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the bum and having the ?Balls? to say: 'You're next, Chubby.'



I trust this clears up any confusion. Medically speaking, there is no difference in outcome;
-both are fatal.
