Australian tourist at Irish bar
An Australian tourist was sitting at the bar in an Irish
pub when all of a sudden a guy yelled out "Number 47!",
and all the other drinkers started laughing. A few minutes
later another guy yelled out "Number 77!, and again everybody
laughed.
The Australian thought this was a bit odd, so he asked the
barman what was going on. The barman said, "Well, it's
like this - these people have been drinking here for years,
and they all tell the same jokes. So a couple of years ago
we decided to give each joke a number, and now when someone
starts telling a joke, if you think you know what it is you
call out the number and if people think it's a funny one they
will laugh."
The Aussie thought he'd give this a try. He waited until it
was quiet and then stood up and shouted "Number 88!"
and everybody laughed loudly and hysterically for ten minutes
or more. People were falling over and crying with laughter.
The pub was in uproar.
The Aussie said to the barman, "So tell me, why did they
laugh more at my joke than the others?" And the barman
said, "Well, there are two reasons--firstly it was a
very funny joke, and secondly, nobody had heard it before."
Prayer
Dear Lord, so
far today I have done your will.
I haven't gossiped, lusted, lost my temper, haven't been greedy,
grumpy, nasty, selfish or overindulgent. I'm very thankful
for that.
Please watch over me Lord, for in a few minutes, I'm going
to get out of bed.
Amen.
