Young Paddy bought a donkey from a farmer for a £100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.
The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news. The donkey's died.'
Paddy replied, 'Well then just give me my money back.' The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I've already spent it.'
Paddy said, 'OK, then, just bring me the dead donkey.' The farmer asked, 'What are you going to do with him?'
Paddy said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.' The farmer said, 'You can't raffle a dead donkey!'
Paddy said, 'Sure I can. Watch me.. I just won't tell anybody he's dead.'
A month later, the farmer met up with Paddy and asked, 'What happened with that dead donkey?'
Paddy said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two pounds a piece and made a profit of £898
The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?' Paddy said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two pounds back.'
Paddy now works for Ryanair

Re: Iish Joke
I can get the humor, but not sure about the "lish" reference....is this shorthand for English?

Re: Iish Joke
I meant Irish. It's in reference to the stereotype of the thick Irishman. Although, Paddy's "thickness" here did him a favour; albeit a dishonest one...zoegirl wrote:I can get the humor, but not sure about the "lish" reference....is this shorthand for English?
