Two Irishmen walk into a pet shop in Dingle, they
walk over 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…
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 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 budgie jumping, den Seamus parrotshooting… And now, Sean and his fook’n hengliding!’
