Two Irishmen walk into a pet shop in Dingle. They head to the bird
section and Gerry says to Paddy, "Dat's dem."
The owner comes over and asks if he can help them. "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. Paddy and Gerry pay
for the birds, leave the shop and get into Gerry's truck to drive to the
top of the Connor Pass.
At the Connor Pass, Gerry looks down at the 1000 foot drop and says,
"Dis looks like a grand place." He takes two birds 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 is too fook'n dangerous for me!"
THERE'S MORE. . .
Moment's 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 another cardboard box in one hand and a shotgun in the
other.
"Hi, Paddy. Watch dis," Seamus says. He takes a parrot from the box
and lets him fly free.
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 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!"
IT IS NOT OVER YET. . .
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 then takes the chicken by its legs and hurls himself off the
cliff and disappears down and down until he hits a rock and breaks his
spine.
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!"
