Topic: Paddy speaks Irish

[vfourfreak]

Paddy, from Connemara, is  walking through a field and sees a man drinking water from a pool with his hand.

He  shouts in Irish  'Na ol an t-uisce, ta sé lan de chac bo' (Don't drink the water, it's full of cowsh * t.)

The man shouts back 'I'm English, speak English, I don't understand you'.

Paddy shouts back 'Use both hands, you'll get more in'.

I believe there is no original to a joke, they are here ever since the big bang:

V Brně na Zelňáku pije chlápek vodu z kašny. Přijde k němu Brňák a říká:

"Ty, kéémo, nechlemtéé tu vasrovku z téé kašně, chčijou do toho morgoši!"

Chlápek se otočí a povídá:

"Hele, pane, já vám vůbec nerozumím, já jsem z Prahy."

Brňák na to: "Pij tu vodu pěkně pomalu, je studená, ať se nenachladíš!"

Google translate gave me a "Tower of Babel" version - but I get the drift. Nice cool piss ??

The Brno guy speaks this curious street lingo called hantec - it takes lot of words from the German language (vasrovka - Wasser)  and warns him off gypsies that piss in it an such while Zelňák is the main square of Brno.

The joke is the same, once he finds out the other guy is from Prague, he tells him to drink slowly, since the water is cold.

There  is a rivalry between Prague, being the capitol and Brno, the second biggest city - aka the second sibling in the family.

In Ireland it is everybody making jokes against the Kerry man.

In England it is the Irish man.
In France it is the Belgians.

etc etc

Funny that.

In USA West Virginia and Polacks.

Jewish jokes were and are popular in Czech, usually clever and/or philosophical.  They are no way antisemitic.

I know some myself. Normally they cleverly praised a trait of being frugal / industrious etc.  A little stereo typical, but not anti semitic.

When I was little I loved the Jack Benny show on TV (in black and white !!!).
I had a friend from LA visit me here a few months ago, and he happens to be Jewish and in TV production. We got to talking about Jack Benny and he reminded me of an old gag, which I had last heard it in the 60's, where a robber tries to hold up Jack :

Imagine a Catholic Irishman and Jewish American falling over in laughter together on a terrace in the South of France, at fundamentally a Jewish own joke.

Humour is such a good social lubricant.
