Paddy had been drinking at his local Dublin pub all day and most of
the night celebrating St Patrick's Day. Mick, the bartender says,
"You'll not be drinking anymore 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, 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'Jesus... I'm fockin' focked," 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 shimmies inside.
He takes a look up the stairs and says "No fockin' 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
"Fock 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 fockin' pissed. But how'd you
know?"
"Mick phoned, . . . You left your wheelchair at the pub."
Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat
because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking
place. Looking up to heaven he said,
"Lord take pity on me. If you find
me a parking place I will go to Mass
every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up
me Irish Whiskey!"
Miraculously, a parking place appeared.
Paddy looked up again and said, "Never mind, I
found one.
He was patiently waiting and watching the
traffic cop on a busy street
crossing. The cop stopped the flow
of traffic and shouted, "Okay,
pedestrians." Then he'd allow the
traffic to pass.
He'd done this several times, and Paddy still
stood on the sidewalk.
After the cop had shouted, "Pedestrians!" for
the tenth time, Paddy went
over to him and said, "Is it not about time ye
let the Catholics across?"
Flynn staggered home very late after another
evening with his drinking
buddy, Paddy. He took off his shoes
to avoid waking his wife, Mary.
He tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the
stairs leading to their
upstairs bedroom, but misjudged the bottom
step. As he caught himself by
grabbing the banister, his body swung around and
he landed heavily on his
rump. A whiskey bottle in each back
pocket broke and made the landing
especially painful.
Managing not to yell, Flynn sprung up, pulled
down his pants, and looked in
the hall mirror to see that his butt cheeks were
cut and bleeding. He
managed to quietly find a full box of Band-Aids
and began putting a Band-Aid
as best he could on each place he saw blood.
He then hid the now almost empty Band-Aid box
and shuffled and stumbled his
way to bed. In the morning, Flynn woke up with
searing pain in both his head
and butt and Mary staring at him from across the
room.
She said, "You were drunk again last night
weren't you?"
Flynn said, "Why you say such a mean thing?"
"Well," Mary said, "it could be the open front
door, it could be the broken
glass at the bottom of the stairs, it could be
the drop s of blood trailing
through the house, it could be your bloodshot
eyes, but mostly.....it's all
those Band-Aids stuck on the hall mirror.
