    I am Irish. This stereotype that we Irish like to get drunk is so hurtful.

    A six pack and a potato.

    It was a cold Friday evening when the doorbell rang at Mrs Molloy’s house. When she answered the door, Patrick Glynn, her husband’s manager at the brewery, was stood on the doorstep.

    ‘Hello Patrick', she said. 'Where’s my husband? He should have been home from work 3 hours ago?’

    The man sighed. ‘I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this, Mrs Molloy, but there was an accident over in the brewery. Your husband fell into a vat of Guinness and drowned’.

    ‘Oh my God’, she replied. ‘Please tell me it was quick?!’

    'Well… no, ma'am. It wasn’t quick.  He climbed out 4 times to go pee.'

    16, 17, 18? Is that the dinking age in Ireland? If you're gonna have underage drinking might as well keep them in the pub.

    I have watched thet couple on youtube before ,

    funny stuff


    I am sure most of you know how the police and customers or had come across the words back in the day got the nick name Patty wagon

    take you pick I have herd both versions over the years so I looked it up so loooks like both were right

    this is just copy and paste info based on this I demand my reparations for the Irish heritage


    "In the 19th and early 20th centuries, many Irish immigrants settled in the United States and began careers as police officers. By 1860, one in four New Yorkers – over 200,000 – had been born in Ireland. Around that time, nearly half of New York City’s law enforcement officers were also Irish. Therefore, a paddy wagon might have gotten its name because it was a vehicle often driven by an Irishman.

    However, paddy wagon may also describe a vehicle that carried several Irishmen, referencing the high number of Irish people arrested in those times.

    Looking back again to the 1860s, more than half of those arrested in New York City were Irish."


    sadly and Irish were considered the lowest of the low ethnic groups another reason I want my gov check for early Irish being discriminated fair is fair

    Ditch-Runner - Catch a show titled "Copper" about an Irish man who came back from Civil War to five points as a cop.
