Irish Bank Robber

Paddy decided to rob a bank. He got all the gear together - stocking mask, sawn-off shotgun, getaway car and so on - but he realised his accent would mark him out as Irish, so he took elocution lessons for almost a year until he could finally pass as an Englishman.

On the day of the robbery, he donned his mask, rushed into the bank and said, "I say there, I'm terribly sorry but this is a robbery. Be a good chap and fill this sack with lots of lovely lolly."

The cashier said, "you're Irish aren't you?"

Paddy was astonished. "How the divil did ye figure dat out?" he asked.
The cashier replied, "it was easy, you've sawn the wrong end off your shotgun!"

Dave's Dog

Dave decided to take the family camping for the weekend. Top trip ensues, but Dave has trouble sleeping on the final night because Dog is very restless and keeps whimpering in the tent. Dave lets the Dog out of the tent for 5 minutes, but an hour later the Dog is whimpering and Dave still can't sleep. So, he locks the Dog in the car for the rest of the night. Job done... Dave wakes up the next morning to find that his car windows appear to be brown. It seems the cause of the Dog's whimpering was an impending bout of the squirts. Locking the Dog in the car merely upset the creature further, so it spent the wee hours of the morning running around the inside of the car in a wall of death style with liquid shite spraying out of its ring. It took Dave all of the following day to clean the car enough to allow them to travel home ( windows open ). Pressing any button on the dash for the first time, would tend to result in a little squirt of shite.. Insurance write off apparently.
