RE: ::: English Lesson :::
The priest in a small Irish village had a rooster and ten hens

he kept in the hen house behind the church.
One Sunday morning, before mass, he
went to feed the birds and discovered
that the cock
was missing.
He knew about cock fights in
the village, so he questioned
his parishioners in church.
During mass, he asked the congregation,
'Has anybody got a cock?'

All the men stood up.
'No, no, ' he said, 'that wasn't what I meant.
Has anybody seen a cock? '
All the women stood up.
'No, no, ' he said, ' that wasn't what I meant.
Has anybody seen a cock that
doesn't belong to them? '
Half the women stood up.
'No, no, ' he said, 'that wasn't what I meant.
Has anybody seen MY cock? '
Sixteen altar boys, two priests
and a goat stood up.
The priest fainted.

RE: ::: English Lesson :::
New Game - "REPENT"

It being Friday, many of you may be looking for a pleasant drinking game for tonight. Check out this not-at-all-bigoted-man's list of people that need to "repent". By repent, this friendly man obviously means have a shot of the drink of your choice according to my new game "Repent (Drinking with the Bigots).
Here's how it works.
1. Gather your friends. If you don't have any you may feel a little sad and not in the humour for tomfoolery. In this case, switch on Chat Roulette for a while, and remind yourself that there are others worse off than you.
2. Ensure that everyone has the bottle of something strong. Those who do not drink alcohol can referee the game. Or take part, but it may not have the same effects.
3. The Referee should have a list of all of those who need to repent (as pictured above) and read each one out with a three second pause in between them.
4. Every time the Referee reads one of the labels that you identify with (e.g immodestly dressed woman, feminist, sodomite etc.) you must repent by taking a very long swig from your bottle.
5. The person who empties their bottle first wins the game and gets to go to "HELL". "HELL" in this case is actually an acronym for the "Hall of Ethereal & Luscious Liquids". Which is of course, a euphemism for the fridge. The winner should also receive a life size statue of two gay men dry-humping as pictured in the image above. If no statue is available re-enact with humans, according to tastes of the participants.
6. Replenish drinks and begin again.
Enjoy. And drink safely etc. etc. etc.

AN IRISH BLONDE IN A CASINO
An attractive blonde from Cork, Ireland arrived at the casino.She seemed a little intoxicated and bet twenty-thousand Euros on a single roll of the dice. She said, 'I hope you don't mind, but I feel much luckier... when I'm completely nude'. With that, she stripped from the neck down, rolled the dice and with an Irish brogue yelled, 'Come on, baby, Mama needs new clothes!'As the dice came to a stop, she jumped up and down and squealed... 'YES! YES! I WON, I WON!' She hugged each of the dealers and then picked up her winnings and her clothes and quickly departed.The dealers stared at each other dumbfounded. Finally, one of them asked, 'What did she roll?' The other answered, 'I don't know - I thought you were watching.'
MORAL OF THE STORY - Not all Irish are drunks, not all blondes are dumb, but all men...are men

Sister Mary Margaret enters O 'Flynn's liquor shop.
"I'd like to buy a bottle of Irish whiskey", she tells O 'Flynn.
The owner of the store shakes his head and frowns.
..."A bottle of Irish whiskey? And you being a nun too."
"Oh no, no," Sister Mary Margaret exclaims. "It's for Father Reilly.
His constipation, you know."
O'Flynn smiles, nods, and puts a bottle into a bag.
Sister Mary Margaret pays, takes the bag and goes on her way.
Later that day, O'Flynn closes shop for the day.
On his way home he passes an alley. There in the alley is Sister Mary Margaret.
She's rip roaring drunk, the empty bottle at her side.
"Sister!" O'Flynn scolds.
"And you said it was for Father Reilly's constipation."
"It is," answers Sister Mary Margaret.
"When he sees me, he's gonna shit!"
