Irish-American Story
Two Irish-American women were
sitting next to each other at a bar.
After a while one looks at the other
and says, 'I can't help but think,
from listening to you, that you're
from Ireland .'
The other woman responds proudly,
'Yes, I sure am!'
The first one says, 'So am I! And
where about in Ireland are ya
from?'
The other woman answers, 'I'm from
St. John's , I am.'
The first one responds, 'So, am I!!
And what street did you live on?'
The other woman says, 'A lovely
little area it was in the west end.
I lived on Warbury Street in the old
central part of town.'
The first one says, 'Faith and it's
a small world. So did I! So did I!
And what school did ya go to?'
The other woman answers, 'Well now,
I went to Holy Heart of Mary, of
course.'
The first one gets really excited
and says, 'And so did I. Tell me,
what year did you graduate?'
The other woman answers, 'Well, now,
let's see. I graduated in 1964.'
The first woman exclaims, 'The Good
Lord must be smiling down upon us! I
can hardly believe our good luck at
winding up in the same pub tonight.
Can you believe it, I graduated from
Holy Heart of Mary in 1964 me
self.'
About this time, Michael walks into
the bar, sits down and orders a
beer.
Brian, the bartender, walks over to
Michael, shaking his head and
mutters, 'It's going to be a long
night tonight.'
Michael asks, 'Why do you say that,
Brian?'
Brian answers, 'The Murphy twins are
drunk again.'
