The best Irish joke

alton — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 05:43:26 -0500

Paddy had been drinking at his local Dublin pub all day and most of the night celebrating St Patrick’s Day. Mick, the bartender, finally says, “You’ll not be drinking any more tonight, Paddy.”

Paddy replies, “OK Mick, I’ll be on my way then.”

Paddy spins around on his stool and steps off. He falls flat on his face.

“Shoite,” he says and pulls himself up by the stool and dusts himself off. He takes a step towards the door and falls flat on his face again, “Shoite, Shoite!”

He looks to the doorway and thinks to himself that if he can just get to the door and some fresh air he’ll be fine. He belly crawls to the door and shimmies up to the door frame. He sticks his head outside and takes a deep breath of fresh air, feels much better, and takes a step out onto the sidewalk and falls flat on his face.

“Bi’Jezz…. I’m f**kin ‘ f**ked,” he says.

He can see his house just a few doors down, and crawls to the door, hauls himself up the door frame, opens the door and goes inside. He takes a look up the stairs and says, “No f**kin’ way.” He crawls up the stairs to his bedroom door and says. “I can make it to the bed.” He takes a step into the room and falls flat on his face. He says “F**k it” and falls into bed.

The next morning, his wife, Jess, comes into the room carrying a cup of coffee and says, “Get up Paddy. Did you have a bit to drink last night?”

Paddy says, “I did, Jess. I was f**kin’ pissed. But how did you know?”

“Mick phoned… you left your wheelchair at the pub.”

LAUNCHING OF NYASHA LAING’S “PUNTA” SOUL DOCUMENTARY FILM

pmdawn — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 08:19:16 -0400

BELIZEANS PACK LONG ISLAND UNIVERSITY THEATER TO WATCH THE LAUNCHING OF NYASHA LAING’S “PUNTA” SOUL DOCUMENTARY FILM

By: Wellington C. Ramos

On Friday the 13th of March 2009, hundreds of Belizeans packed Long Island University Theater in Downtown Brooklyn to witness the launching of a documentary Garifuna film titled “Punta Soul” that was produced by a Belizean Lawyer and music Promoter Nyasha Laing who has been working with a popular Garifuna musician, singer, educator and director of the Afrigarifuna Youth Ensemble, which is the only organization that is dedicated to teach young children all aspects of the Garifuna Culture in New York State. Over the years many of the young children who have been members of this organization, have learnt how to play various types of musical instruments especially the Garifuna drums the primera and the secunda..

These two drums have been the predominant musical instruments that have provided the mainstay of the punta, mali, wanaragua, gunje, and several other types of Garifuna music for dance, ceremonial and other occasions. Many people identify the Garifuna music with just the punta and wanaragua dances. The Garifuna culture possess several other types of dances and music that should also be highlighted to the general public, in order to improve the public’s knowledge of the culture. In fact wanaragua which is popularly known as Jonkunu is not even a Garifuna dance. This dance came about because of the African slave experience in ceremonies that were held for a white man by the name of John Canoe who was a slave trader in West Africa during the slave period. Africans throughout the continent and the Caribbean region all dance Jonkunu with some similarities and differences.

Punta Soul is a documentary that tells a story about a Garifuna music called “Punta” that has developed into a new music now known as “Punta Rock” that was composed by a Dangriga native son musician and artist Pen Cayetano in Dangriga Town Belize Central America. The main differences between Punta and Punta Rock is that Punta Rock is faster, more energized and has more bass. The differences between Punta and Punta Rock could be compared with the differences between skaw and Reggae Music. Due to the differences in these music, the dancing of Punta Rock requires the exertion of more energy by the person who chose to dance this music. One who chose to dance Punta must be in top notch shape to withstand all the leg and body movements over a long period of time without getting exhausted. The improvements in musical instruments and technology has brought about a significant change in the playing of Punta music but it is difficult to eradicate the drums from the music.

The drums in Punta is such an important element, that even with modern technology the music is not the same without the drums. For the Garifuna people the drums are used to bring in their ancestor’s spirits in order to communicate with them and start a dialogue. The playing of certain type of music and the singing of certain songs could have an adverse effect on the people who are listening to the music and song at some occasions. In Garifuna culture, it is strongly suggested that Garifuna musicians do not sing or play certain type of music at some occasions. Some Garifuna musicians who have strayed away from this cultural practice, have experienced some strange episodes at their cultural events.

Before the documentary film was staged, the Master of Ceremonies Ms Melanie Martinez introduced several distinguished guests who were in attendance and the people who contributed to make the film such as; Professor Michael Stone from Yale University. Also in attendance was a Belizean Politician by the name of David Grinage who is seeking to unseat City Councilman Al Van in the 36th City Council District which is concentrated in Bedford Stuyvesant Brooklyn. After the introduction was completed, James Lovell and his group the Afrigarifuna Youth Ensemble, gave a cultural show which displayed the musical talents of the children who are currently enrolled in the cultural learning institute. The people in the audience were applauding the talents of the young children that were playing the musical instruments. The only thing that was missing from the presentation was showing the various types of Garifuna dances and that was probably due to the small space that was available on the stage.

Overall, most people in the audience were pleased and seem to be satisfied with the show that was given by the group and the documentary film. After the show, food and refreshments were made available for the audience and the DVD’s were available for everybody to purchase from the producer for $15.00 a piece. For me the moment of surprise came when it came to questions and answers. A young Belizean child asked Ms Nyasha Laing, what motivated her to do the documentary and she responded by saying the love for music and the culture. Any documentary that is done to promote our cultures in Belize should be commended. Belize is not a place that is known by too many people in the world and surprisingly among many citizens from the Caribbean and Latin America. In my travels in the United States and Europe, I find that more Europeans know more about Belize than people in our region. We as Belizeans should continue to be proud of our Belizean heritage and the various cultures from our country. This documentary launching will set the pace for more documentaries to come on the Garifuna people and the other cultures of Belize.

One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Joe says to Mike behind him,"My elbow hurts like hell. I guess I'd better see a doctor."
"Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money," Mike replies.
"There's a diagnostic computer down at Wal-Mart. Just give it a urine sample and the computer will tell you what's wrong and what to do about it.
It takes ten seconds and costs ten dollars .. A lot cheaper than a doctor."

So, Joe deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to Wal-Mart.
He deposits ten dollars, and the computer lights up and asks for the urine sample. He pours the sample into the slot and waits.
Ten seconds later, the computer ejects a printout:

"You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy activity. It will improve in two weeks. Thank you for shopping @ Wal-Mart."
That evening, while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Joe began wondering if the computer could be fooled.

He mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples from his wife and daughter, and a sperm sample for good measure.

Joe hurries back to Wal-Mart, eager to check the results. He deposits ten dollars, pours in his concoction, and awaits the results.

The computer prints the following:

1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. (Aisle 9)
2. Your dog has ringworm. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo. (Aisle 7)
3. Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab.
4. Your wife is pregnant. Twins. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer.
5 If you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get better!

Thank you for shopping @ Wal-Mart

Lil' Johnny and Mary Margaret

iciego — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 20:08:35 -0400

Little Mary Margaret was not the best student in Catholic School . Usually she slept through the class. One day her teacher, a Nun, called on her while she was sleeping. 'Tell me Mary Margaret, who created the universe?'
When Mary Margaret didn't stir, little Johnny who was her friend sitting behind her, took his pencil and jabbed her in the rear.
'God Almighty!' shouted Mary Margaret.
The Nun said, 'Very good' and continued teaching her class.
A little later the Nun asked Mary Margaret, 'Who is our Lord and Savior?'
But Mary didn't stir from her slumber Once again, Johnny came to her rescue and stuck Mary Margaret in the butt.
'Jesus Christ!!!' shouted Mary Margaret and the Nun once again said,'Very good,' and Mary Margaret fell back asleep.
The Nun asked her a third question...'What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child?'
Again, Johnny came to the rescue.
This time Mary Margaret jumped up and shouted, 'If you stick that thing in me one more time, I'll break it in half!'
The nun fainted.
