St Patrick's Day

If on the 17th of March, you find some people are playing Irish music, wearing something green or talking with a Guiness you may conclude they're celebrating a missionary that became a patron Saint back in the 5th century. Our Ctee wishes you a good day.

Irish Joke Style

As you may have experienced, they're known for the inherent sense of humour with quick wit, clever wordplay, and a healthy helping of sarcasm. It's meant with the best intentions.

Some Irish Jokes

== Parking Space ==

An Irishman is struggling to find a parking space.

"Lord,” he prays, “I can’t stand this. If you open a space up for me, I swear I’ll give up the Guinness and go to mass every Sunday."

Suddenly, the clouds part and the sun shines on an empty parking spot. Without hesitation, the Irishman says: “Never mind, I found one!"

== Lumberjack ==

A large Canadian lumber company advertised that they were looking for a good Lumberjack.

The very next day, a skinny Irishman showed up at the company with his axe and knocked on the Foreman’s door.

The Foreman took one look at the small Irishman and told him to leave. "Just give me a chance to show you what I can do," said the Irishman.

"Okay, see that giant redwood over there?" said the Foreman. "Take your axe and go cut it down."

The Irishman headed for the tree, and in five minutes, he was back knocking on the Foreman’s door.

"I cut the tree down," said the Irishman.

"Holy smokes!" Said the Foreman. "Where did you get the skill to chop down trees like that?"

"In the Sahara Forest," replied the Irishman.

Confused, the Foreman asked, "… don’t you mean the Sahara Desert?"

"Oh… Is that what they call it now?"
