THE IRISH NATIONAL GOALKEEPER
It’s more than 50yrs since that I 1st heard this joke. Not that it has changed much but the Irish were always thought of as a people who can’t apply themselves, have drunken, noisy ways that are normally finally capped with some solid brawl. An average family had some 7 kids; in fact it was believed by some that Irish girls got pregnant from kissing.
Yet through all of these, they have produced some of the greatest literary giants; poets, & classic writers. They continue today to produce wonderful contemporary musicians & singers. Should America today decide to take a census of contributions to the world of literature, theatre, cinema & music by the various ethnic groups, I am pretty certain that the Irish would be taking a front row seat. Regardless of eing the most maligned of the white Tribes, they have held their own & not too long ago before the total EU decline, Ireland was considered the fastest growing economy. My point is they never went running to mummy saying ‘mummy , he called me a nigger or what ever.
Anyway, it’s back to the joke:
A 10 storey building in Ireland is on fire & the fire brigade is hard at it and they think all is done when out pops a head of a woman from then 8th floor, she’s holding a baby & she’s screaming “pls save my baby, dnt worry bout me just save my baby” she screams continuously. “Throw your baby into our safety net” shouts the Fire chief but the Lady would have nothing of it. After a lot of to & fro between her & the fire officers she finally agrees to throw down her baby only if the Irish National goal keeper were present. Straight away the fire chief sends for the great Murphy O’Reily, the legendary Irish national goalkeeper.
She takes a look & shouts out. “It’s Murphy, it’s Murphy, it’s Murphy O’Reilly; my Irish hero. Please catch my baby”.
“Go ahead lady am ready & dnt be worried one bit” Murphy shouts back.
The lady throws her baby, Murphy O’Reilly catches the baby & before you know it he bounces the baby twice takes 2 strides & kicks him right across the parking lot into the other half of the estate while the crowd cheered wildly.
