Father Murphy walks into a pub in Donegal ...

... and says to the first man he meets, "Do you want to go to heaven?"

The man said, "I do Father."

The priest said; "Then stand over there against the wall."

Then the priest asked the second man, "Do you want to go to heaven?"

"Certainly, Father," was the man's reply. "Then stand over there against the wall," said the priest.

Then Father Murphy walked up to O'Toole and said, "Do you want to go to heaven?"

O'Toole said, "No, I don't Father."

The priest said, "I don't believe this. You mean to tell me that when you die you don't want to go to heaven?"

O'Toole said, "Oh, when I die, yes. I thought you were getting a group together to go right now."

American-Australian Relations

An American oil company was drilling for oil in the far north of Australia. They brought their own crew, but hired some labourers from the local community. One of these Aussies accidentally dropped a heavy hammer down the shaft, making further drilling impossible until it was removed. Much time, money and trouble were spent in extricating it, after which the manager assembled all the men and presented it to the offender with a very sarcastic speech, concluding with, "I want you to accept this hammer as a memento, and hope it will always remind you of the trouble and expense you have caused this company through your stupid and crass carelessness. Now TAKE IT AND GO."

"Does that mean I'm sacked?" asked the Aussie.

"It sure does," was the emphatic reply.

"Well, this thing's no flamin' use to me, then," responded the labourer, proceeding to drop it neatly down the shaft again.


While visiting the United States an Australian businessman was invited to a dinner given by a major organisation. After listening to many speeches extolling the virtues of 'God's own country', he was invited to speak. Fortified by a few drinks, he told the following story:

When Noah was out upon the waters one day he noticed the ark had developed a decided list. He summoned his sons, Ham, Shem and Japheth and asked them to investigate. Ham returned shortly after and reported the cause of the trouble. "It's the bull's pen," he explained. "It's not been cleaned out since we started, and the added weight is causing the list."

"Shovel it overboard," ordered Noah.

They did, and some five thousand years later Christopher Columbus discovered it.
