Darling taboo

Playing Taboo in a family friends house at Christmas which is basically charades with words instead of actions.

The lady of house gets the word "darling" to describe to the other players and starts by sayign "I call my husband this every morning."

Her 4 year old grandson who is playing with toys in teh corner pipes up! "a bollix".

I can never find the price tags in the 2 Euro Shop

Was in Dun Laoghaire Shopping Center when a middle-aged lady gleefully ran up to another.
Woman 1: "Mary, look what I'm after finding!"
Woman 2: (peers into the bag) "Oh, where'd ya find dat!"
Woman 1: "Just down at the 2 Euro shop!"
Woman 2: "Oh really, how much was it?"

Ah, mercy! We're rearing them yet!

Another RTE gem: "The fire brigade managed to put out the fire in the cab, before it spread to the rest of the lorry!" when they clearly intended to say that the rest of the lorry had been saved from the fire.

Raunchy statue

Walking down Grafton street behind a bunch of D4 girls. They walk by one of the painted people dressed up as statues. He leaps out at them and one of the D4s exclaims, "F*ck!"
His reply was a loud cry of, "Not now, I'm working!"

Recently in the friut and veg section of Tesco's in Artane Castle, I was struggling to find what I was looking for. So I asked a young fella working there "Where do you keep the Mange Tout"? He paused for a second and replied "Jesus I don't know, is that one for them foreign exotic fruits"
