'Tis a pity, doncha know!

[muckefuck]

Many thanks to listens2kids for today's serving of off-colour ethnic jokes. My favourite:

Two Irishmen were sitting at a pub having beer and watching the brothel across the street.

They saw a Baptist minister walk into the brothel, and one of them said, "Aye, 'tis a shame to see a man of the cloth goin' bad."

Then they saw a rabbi enter the brothel, and the other Irishman said, "Aye, 'tis a shame to see that the Jews are fallin' victim to temptation as well."

Then they see a catholic priest enter the brothel, and one of the Irishmen said, "What a terrible pity...one of the girls must be dying."

This, in a nutshell, is how my ancestral religion has managed to persist as an institution up into the present day.

Here's another good one, from His Grace, Bp. Seraphim (Sigrist):

Eriugena, while dining in the nineth century with his French royal patron Charles the Bald was asked by the King, who perhaps had had too much to drink:

"Quid distat inter Scottum et sottum?"

To which the Irishman replied: "Tabula tantum"

These days, you're lucky the punchline isn't:

"Must be 'Bring Your Son To Work Day' over there..."

I notice the lack of Episcopalians in a joke about a brothel ...

YUP!
