Irish hospitality
On a night out in Galway I overheard the following:
A vacationing Brit: "Oy! You stole me chair! - give it back"
A Galway reply: "Your chair?! Give me my f**king six counties back and I'll give ye the bleedin' chair.."
Epic!

Airport security Check
Arriving in Shannon airport 6.30 am just post 9-11. A plain clothes security guard leaned against a wall and was watching the queue waiting to produce their passports for the uniformed security guy at the Exit desk.
One guy in the line says psst, psst to secretly catch the attentsion of the plain clothes security guy. When he gets his attentsion he loudly whispers to him: "Hey you wouldn't happen to have a old spare passport would you?" . The security guy and the sleepy queue were reduced to laughter.
Good to be back in Ireland again !

It's important to get the sex right
Was trying to finish my shopping the other day while fending off the charity bagpackers who were plaguing every till. Trying to tune out the girl making earnest attempts to get me to join Macra na Feirme, I could make out the following conversation behind me.
Male Chugger: "Howya, love. Can I ask you how old you are?"
Female Supervisor: "You can but no conversation we have after that is going to end well."
I turn to find the young woman glaring daggers at a rather cowed fat, middle aged man.

One way street?
technically heard in waterford, but it was a dub who said it..
a man was driving down a one way street in waterford city, when a taxi driver sticks his head out of his parked car and shouts;
"this is a one way street, ya tit"
the window of the offending car slowly rolls down his window and says in a think north side accent;
"yeah?! well don't worry, i'm only gonna go this f**king way!"

Plant Hire
Several years agoI was sitting beside my sister in the car on the drive home from work. We passed a sign for a well known local plant hire company, and my sister looked at it intently for several moments until we lost sight of it.
she nudged me ont he arm and asked:
"Why would anyone want to hire a plant?"
Needless to say, we were in stitches
