Albert Book, inventor of the novel...
I was in the basement of Easons with a mate of mine, who was looking for a map of Dublin. While I was wandering around, a gaggle of Three Stripers passed me by. As they passed, one of them said (and I'm quoting his EXACT words heard):
"Sure what do yez want to buy a book for? Books is the stupidest invention ever!"
Sweet Jesus...

Italians
At the 123 bus stop in St. James's Hospital and 3 rough looking Italian teenagers strolled past, followed by a rather burly hospital security guard. When they tried to detour into one of the hospital buildings, the security chap ordered them to move along.
Annoyed, one of the Italian's turned around and made his hand into the shape of a gun, pointed it at the security guard and said, "F*** you, I'll pop a cap in yore ass, motherf**ker."
Unperturbed, the security guard stood his ground and said, "Tis watching too many Al Keepoooohn movies you're doin, boy."

Muff Munchin'
A Scottish friend was telling about a romantic weekend in Dublin with her fiance. They had had a lovely romantic dinner and headed back across the Liffey afterwards. They stopped on the boardwalk to admire the nighttime Liffey views when he got down on his knees and proposed to her. My friend saw two scanger girls approaching from behind her fiance and upon seeing him down on one knee in front of her, one said to the other:
'He-ur, is he munchin her muff?

Spelling....
One Saturday night I phoned for a taxi into town. I started to spell my address as it is spelt differently to how it sounds. About three letters into it, the apathetic girl on the phone interjected and said snottily 'Thanks, I can spell you know'.
Then at the end of the phone call, she says in a matter-of-fact and snidey tone 'we'll give your phone three rings when that taxi is on approach. That's rings, it's spelt R-I-N-G-S'.

Don't go into nursing love
At home with a former girlfriend, we were watching Holby City or some other daft hospital drama. There was a scene with an unconscious guy in the hospital bed and a sign above him which said 'Nil By Mouth'.
To which my girlfriend just came out with 'ah, poor Nil By'

Ballyer at Heathrow
I was going through Heathrow airport a few years ago getting a connecting flight on to the states.
I got talking to a guy originally from Ballyfermot who now lived in New York.
He was a rough looking guy, and wasn't to fond of the British airport authorities.
Before going by the airport customs he told me he could gaurantee that they would stop and question him.
Apparently he was always stopped.
Anyway, we arrived at the part where they check your passport and the airport customs guy asks in his finest English accent "Are we going anywhere nice today Sir"
The bloke from ballyfermot replied
"Well I'm going somewhere nice , but I don't remember f*cking inviting you anywhere"

The bleedin' saps
In my Leaving Cert history class, the teacher was talking about how many people died on the ships headed for America during the Famine and the journey took many weeks.
One lad sitting across from me says out loud: "The bleedin' saps! Why didn't they just fly over!?"
To which the lad sitting beside him replies: "Are you thick or wha'? Obviously, they couldn't afford it!"

Ryanair wit
was on the plane home from spain the other day.
as usual, at the end when we are waiting to get off the plane, the pilot's voice comes over the speakers.....thank you for flying ryanair etc etc.
just as we think he's finished, he comes out with this:
"and its very rainy in dublin this evening, if you dont have an umbrella, you might need to contact rihanna, and ask her for and umbrella, ella, ella"
certainly a break away from the usual "flite time is 2 hours etc etc"
cheap flights, and a bit of humour, what more could you ask for?!
