With a name like McCool, I suspect I can get away with these.

EXCELLENT!!

This guy comes into a bar and asks the bartender to set him up with three drinks. *The bartender, looking puzzled, asks "Why three drinks at once?" *The man replies that fortune had taken him and his two brothers separate ways, but they swore before they split up that every Friday they would go to a pub, wherever they were, and would enjoy of round of drinks together as if they were all together again. *This practice went on for several years, when one night the man came in and asked to be set up with only two drinks. *The bartender thinking the worse offered his condolences. *The man replied, "Oh no, nothing like that, it's just that I have quit drinking!"

Irishman has been drinking for years. He spends intirely too much time at the local pub with his chums.
His wife has finally had enough. She threatens him with divorce unless he quits drinking and spending so much time with his chums. In addition she has a short list of 5,000 things he can do to make her happier.
Well, there's no way he wants a divorce and conceeds.
The first thing on her list is, he needs to start doing something nice for her. She allows that he can start with bringing home some of her favorite foods on Friday and this Friday Snails..Escargo would be a nice start.
Ok says he.
So Friday after he work he goes to the French place and gets the escargo.
On the way home he has to pass his old pub and his chums. They try to get him to come in for a drink..Nope says he.
How about a pint says they.....Nope My wife will be very disapponted.
Ok how about a half pint they say.
Well that's not to bad, so Yes says he.
So three hours later and 12 half pints later he continues on the way home.
Just as he reaches his front step he stumbles and drops the escargo.
She hears the commotion and opens the door. He's standing there with the snails all about. He raises his arms like he sheparding the snails and says..........................................

Ok Guys, almost there, now up the steps........

Didn't God invent whiskey to keep the Irish from ruling the world?


My favorite was repeated in the Tom Selleck movie Crossfire Trail a few months back.

An Irishman, a Frenchman, and a German walk into a bar and all three order whiskey. Just as the bar keep sets the drinks on the counter, a fly lands in each drink.

The Frenchman cries out &quot;Take it away! I can not drink that!&quot; as he pushes the glass away repulsed.

The German picks the fly out and downs the shot.

The Irishman picks the fly from the glass and shouts
&quot;Spit it out ! Spit it out&quot;
