Last Irish one, promise…
Gerry and Paddy enter a pet shop in Dingle, and walk over to the bird section. Gerry says to Paddy, ‘Dat’s dem.’
The pet shop owner comes over and asks if he can help.
‘Yeah, we’ll take four of dem dere little budgies in dat cage up dere,’ says Gerry.
The owner puts the budgies in a cardboard box.
They pay for the birds, leave the shop and get into Gerry’s truck to drive to the top of Connor Pass.
At Connor Pass, Gerry looks down the 1000-foot drop and says, “Dis looks like a grand place.”
He takes two of the budgies out of the box, puts one on each shoulder and jumps off the cliff.
Paddy watches as the budgies fly off and Gerry falls all the way to the bottom, killing himself stone dead.
Looking down at the remains of his best pal, Paddy shakes his head and says, “Fook dat. Dis budgie jumping looks too fook’n dangerous for me!”
Moments later Seamus arrives up at Connor Pass. He’s been to the pet shop too and walks up to the edge of the cliff carrying a cardboard box in one hand and a shotgun in the other.
“Hi, Paddy, watch dis,” says Seamus.
He takes a parrot out from the box and lets him loose.
He then throws himself over the edge of the cliff with the gun.
Paddy watches as half way down, Seamus takes the gun and shoots up at the parrot.
Seamus continues to plummet down and down until he hits the bottom and breaks every bone in his body.
Paddy shakes his head and says, “And I’m never trying dat parrotshooting either!”
Paddy is just getting over the shock of losing two friends when Sean appears.
He’s also been to the pet shop and is carrying a cardboard box out of which he pulls a chicken.
Sean takes the chicken by its legs and hurls himself off the cliff and disappears down and down until he splatters himself on the rocks.
Once more Paddy shakes his head.
“Fook dat, lads. First dere was Gerry with his budgiejumping, den Seamus parrotshooting… And now Sean and his fook’n hengliding!”…
