Instant spell checker
Sitting waiting to get my daughter's birth cert in the General Register Office in Coolock, a woman in front of me casually takes out her mobile phone and rings her husband. She asks him does he know how to spell the name Fionnuala. When he doesn't know, she says she needs to find out as she is waiting in a queue to get her own daughter's birth cert!
A while later, the woman goes up to the window, and the clerk behind the desk asks her to confirm her daughter's first name. She tells him the name Fionnuala and spells it for him. He jokes that is she sure about the spelling, to which she replies yes, she just googled it on her mobile!

He's probably right too
I was in the cinema with a friend going to see "Avatar 3D". It was my friends first 3D film, and he was getting quite excited during the trailers, only to blurt out during one of those silent moments "I'd say there'd be a good market for 3D porn!"....neendless to say the row infront and behind us cracked up laughing

Globe trotters...
I'm currently a student teacher. I recently had Senior Infants (5-6 year olds). I decided to teach Geography and to see what countries the children knew. So i asked the children what countries in the world they could list. So I got the usual countries, America, Spain, England etc. I decided to prompt the children into naming other countries. I asked 'can anyone tell me where Pizza comes from?' hoping for the answer Italy. Instead I was greeted with a young boy waving his hand around desperately. His answer - 'Apache!'

A couple of years ago I was in a queue in Pearse Street garda station getting passport forms signed. An auld one in front of me was with her granddaughter filling out forms for her stolen purse. The child was bored and decided to strike up a conversation with the garda.
Child: "Whats your name?"
Garda: "Fiona"
Child: "Oh, like princess Fiona in shrek"
Garda: "Yeah, Do you like Shrek? Maybe your granny will take you to the pictures to see the new one?"
Child: "Ah No. I've already seen it on DVD loads of times. Me Da has hundreds at home. He sells them..."
Granny: "Jesus, Will yeh shutup?"
Other Garda: "We won't have to drag you in for questioning will we?"
Child looks at granny with totally confused look on her face. Everyone in the queue and the two gardai fell about the place laughing. The granny seemed to get over her stolen purse quickly and made her exit.

Dublin Airport boarding a flight...
Just boarding a flight from Dublin to Copenhagen and an Irish lady is sat across the aisle from me. A man walks up the aisle and spots his seat which is next to the woman and kindly says to her "sorry miss, can I slip inside you.."?
Needless to say the lady got as embarassed as the man when he realised his mistake in words...
