An Irishman arrived at J.F.K. Airport and wandered around the terminal with tears streaming down his cheeks. An airline employee asked him if he was already homesick. "No," replied the Irishman. "I've lost all me luggage!" "How'd that happen?" "The cork fell out!" said the Irishman. ---
When Irish Eyes Are Smiling
When Irish eyes are smiling
Sure it's like a morning spring.
In the lilt of Irish laughter,
You can hear the angels sing.
When Irish hearts are happy,
All the world seems bright and gay.
And when Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure, they steal your heart away.
I'm an Irish Leprechaun by Maureen Gutyan
I'm an Irish leprechaun, Tiny and wee,
I hide in the forest, Behind a tree.
If you ever catch me, you will see A wish I will grant as quick as can be!

The four-leaf clover is Ireland's favorite token of good fortune. The first leaf symbolizes Hope, the second represents Faith, and the third stands for Love. The fourth leaf is the lucky leaf! - - - - - - -

The Englishman looks disgusted, pushes his pint away and demands another pint. The Scotsman picks out the fly, shrugs, and takes a long swallow. The Irishman reaches into the glass, pinches the fly between his fingers and shakes him while yelling, "Spit it out, ye bug!!! Spit it out!" ---

The angry wife met her husband at the door. There was alcohol on his breath and lipstick on his collar.
"I assume," she snarled, "that there is a very good reason for you to come waltzing in here at six o'clock in
the morning?" "There is," he replied. "Breakfast."
