The bouncer scale
One of a group of young-looking lads to the bouncers outside a lap-dancing club:
"So on a scale of one to ten, how much am I not allowed in?"

Raking yer brains....
Walking towards North Main St Cork at the Mercy Hospital, a nurse obviously just off duty was on the phone probably to her mate. Must've been some juicy gossip on the other end she was waiting to hear - '....I'm just dyin' to hear the details, I've been raking my brains for ages...'
Hmm, must be alot of cobwebs up there from the night shift...

No sign of the directions
Came back to Dublin in Jan this year after many years away. Anyway, I couldn't find the Dart station in Amien Street (access is now different). I asked this guy working there and get the directions.
I mention to him there is not many signs to which he replies 'Sure we don't bother with signs as most people know where it is'

The lights were definitely not on....
My boss was assisting one of the shop-floor girls with the Christmas lights for the window and they were having problems with the electrics. My boss went in the back to the fuse box, and called out to the girl, "Well, are they workin' now?"
To which she replied: "Oh! Yeah! They're on now!.....Oh...wait, off again...Oh, back on again!"
My boss could barely get out the words to explain to her the purpose of 'Twinkling Fairylights'.

Excuse me love ...
I was downstairs on the 78 bus a couple of months ago and spotted a young one talking happily away to herself. I thought "Ah god love her" until I realised she was using a hands free phone. Just then an 'oul one leaned over to her and said "Excuse me love but yeh look like a feckin' eejit!". The young one appeared mystified and slightly startled as the rest of us sniggered. She began to talk again to whoever was still on the phone when the 'oul one leaned over again and said "Excuse me love, yeh didn't hear me. Yeh look like a feckin' eejit!"
Howls of laughter!

Do swans actually eat ducks?
On Saturday evening, looking at all those yellow ducks (Today FM Children's Lifeline Duck Race) in the Liffey. I overheard a guy say:
"Oh the swans will die if they swallow those ducks"
(I don't know about you but I've never seen a swan on the Liffey)

B and Queue
Standing in the queue for the till in B&Q last Saturday buying a step-ladder. There's only three people in front of me but it's taking the hapless cashier about 10 minutes to deal with each customer what with a dodgy scanner, barcodes not in the system and her not exactly being the brightest star in the sky.
As she left the till for the third or fourth time to ask a colleague what to do next, the bloke behind me looks at the one item I'm getting and says to me:
"bet you wish you'd just stood on a f**kin' chair now!"
