Communion
After Dublin v Tyrone the streets outside Croker were buzzing with people. I took my usual "shortcut" home through a laneway which was absolutely packed and the line was moving slowly.
Behind me a man shouts up to his mate, who had obviously convinced him that this way was quicker, "Jaysis Mick, are they serving Communion at the end of this or wha'?"
Think everyone in the vicinity nearly wet themselves

From the mouths of pensioners
While visiting my mother recently who is in her late 70s, some post arrived, and I asked her, anything interesting? "No" she replied without hesitating, just one of those H I V letters for your father. It was, as I thought a V H I letter, but I just let it go. Cheered me up for the day .

Only words
I was on the 16A coming home from work when there were 3 teenage girls sitting talking a couple seats back...
When the Blonde girl turns to her 2 friends and says
"Isn't it amazing how a composition of words make up a sentence"
Her friends just blankly look at her.

A nation of poets
On the bus from Dublin Airport, via o'Connell St.
Two country ladies chatting as we pass the Daniel O'Connell statue;
'who is that, Parnell?'
'no, no it's not'
'who is it then?'
'it's Patrick Kavanagh'

Crybollix???
There is quite a lot of foot traffic beneath my bedroom window on Long Lane and you get to hear snippets of people's conversations every morning. One day, lying in bed, you could hear this kid screaming from way down the street, quickly followed by his father shouting out "SHURRUP YA BLEEEDIN CRYBOLLIX". It did the trick.

Family Section
Headed to watch UCD take on St. Pats on wet cold Friday night this summer in the Airtricity League. As we were watching the game, I noticed a sign down in front of us in the stand saying
"This is the family section. Please watch your language."
Meanwhile a St. Pats player was caught with possession of the ball. Cue a boy no more than than aged 7 to stand up and shout
"Pass the ball, you F**KIN PRICK!!"
Priceless!!

Well D'UH!!
Just to verify, everyone knows that a 99 is a cone with that sort of whipped ice cream and a flake that you get in a shop. I was in a local shop the other week buying an ice cream on a rare sunny day. I asked the girl behind the counter,"Can I have a 99 please?" She replies "Do you want a flake in that?" What training do they give them.

Health improvements
Sitting in a lecture hall during the 1st lecture of a very easy nursing class in 1st year.
The lecturer was talking about things that could improve your health
'Taking a walk will improve your health, getting married or even divorced can improve your health, taking this class might improve your health!'
Quick as a flash some smartass in the back row pipes up
'It'll improve my f*****g GPA!'
Followed by a chorus of laughter and a not too impressed lecturer

Charming!!
Walking through Temple Bar one afternoon I passed two young Dublin 'ladies'. One of them bent down and started closely examining the other leggings, focusing on the crotch area. "Ah jaysus!" she announced in sympathy "I hate it when they get caught between your flaps like tha'!"
