Irish joke.

Maybe the Best IRISH Joke Ever!

Two paddies were working for the city public works department. One would dig a hole and the other would follow behind him and fill the hole in.

They worked up one side of the street, then down the other, then moved on to the next street, working furiously all day without rest, one man digging a hole, the other filling it in again.

An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but couldn't understand what they were doing. So he asked the hole digger, " I'm impressed by the effort you two are putting into your work, but I don't get it: why do you dig a hole, only to have your partner follow behind and fill it up again? "

The hole digger wiped his brow and sighed, " Well, I suppose it probably looks odd because we're normally a three-person team. But today the lad who plants the trees called in sick. "

I used to work for a city in North Dakota and I think I met these two, but they were Norwegians.

I am a retired city employee. I was at a city park for my son's ball game and the previous night there was a storm that drenched every field. There was a two man city crew that was prepping the four fields so the tournament could go as scheduled. Many of the parents were complaining about only one crew and then I went on to explain how things went in the government by stating I worked for the city and told them this story, and they bought it. They actually thought this happened.

Now I am in sales, go figure.

One morning, three Irishmen and three Englishmen were in a ticket counter queue at a train station. The three Englishmen each bought a ticket and watched as the three Irishmen bought just one ticket.
'How are the three of you going to travel on only one ticket?' asked one of the Englishmen.
'Be watchin and learnin,' answered one of the Irishmen.
All six boarded the train where the three Englishmen sat down, but the three Irishmen crammed into a toilet together and closed the door. Shortly after the train departed, the conductor came around to collect tickets.
He knocked on the toilet door and said, 'Ticket, please.'
The door opened just a crack and a single arm emerged with a ticket in hand. The conductor took it and moved on. The Englishmen saw this happen and agreed it was quite a clever idea. Indeed, so clever they decided to do the same thing on the return trip and save some money.
That afternoon when they got back to the station, they bought a single ticket for the return trip and watched, while to their astonishment, the three Irishmen didn't buy even one ticket!
'How are you going to travel without a ticket?' asked a perplexed Englishman. 'Be watchin and learnin,' answered the three Irish boys in unison.
When they boarded the train, the three Englishmen crammed themselves into a toilet and the three Irishmen crammed into another toilet just down the way. Shortly after the train began to move, one of the Irishmen left the toilet and walked over to the toilet in which the Englishmen were hiding.
The Irishman knocked on the door and said, 'Ticket, please.'

This is unfortunately too close to the truth, (not the Irish part). Last year a heavy frost was forecast for the morning. 11pm the trucks came out gritting the roads. 4am the road sweepers turned up.
