Old Irish Joke

Old Irish Joke

Paddy and Shawn were out walking
When three hand grenades they found
Shawn said "Paddy what should be do
We can't leave them lying around"

Paddy said "take them to the police
And get them off of the road"
"But Paddy" said Shawn "what if on the way there
One should decide to explode"?

"Don't worry yerself about such a thing"
Said Paddy, "I know what we can do"
When we get to the station we'll tell them  
That we only found two



Old Irish joke. Only the poem is original.  The joke is someone elses.

P.S. the poem on my "grandma" was just a joke, not based on reality. She died years ago, but I went through a similar experience with my father before he passed away. Thanks for reading it.

Hilarious, Bob. I hadn't heard the joke and got a great laugh reading the poem. (I have Polish heritage and have heard a lot of Polish jokes.) Nice work! Love, Carolyn
