Bob turns to Tam and says, "Do you think there's bowling in heaven?" Tam thinks about it for a minute and replies, "I dunno. But let's make a deal: if I die first, I'll come back and tell you if there's bowling in heaven, and if you die first, you do the same." They shake on it and sadly, a few months later, poor Bob passes on. One day soon afterward, Tam is sitting there feeding the pigeons by himself when he hears a voice whisper, "Tam... Tam..." Tam responds, "Bob! Is that you?" "Yes it is, Tam," whispers Bob's ghost. Tam, still amazed, asks, "So, is there bowling in heaven?" "Well," says Bob, "I've got good news and bad news." "Gimme the good news first," says Tam. Bob says, "Well... there is bowling in heaven." Tam says, "That's great! What news could be bad enough to ruin that!?" Bob sighs and whispers, "You're playing next Wednesday."

xxxx A guy is driving around Dublin when he sees a sign in front of a house: "Talking Dog For Sale." He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the backyard. The guy goes into the backyard and sees a Labrador sitting there. "You talk?" he asks. "Yes," the Lab replies. "So, what's the story?" The Lab looks up and says: "Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the Garda about my gift, and in no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running." "But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security wandering near suspicious characters and listening in." "I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals. I got married, had a load of puppies, and now I'm just retired." The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog. "Ten euros," the man says. "Ten euros? This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?" "Because he's a liar. He never did any of that shite." xxxx Patient: “Doctor, I've got a strawberry stuck up my bum.” xxxx A girl came skipping home from school one day.

The older they are, the easier they are to pick up! xxxx When Billy was just 4 years old he saw his first tractor, as his dad sighed at having to pace behind the big farm machine, a young Billy was captivated by its size, noise, smell and colour. By the age of 6 he had amassed a large collection of toy tractors in all sizes and when he was 8 his parents bought him a push around toy tractor which he had plenty of fun with right up to the age of 12 or so. Billy really loved tractors; so much in fact, he took up a part time job at 15, clearing up stables on a farm. He didn't care for horses, or their poop, but he loved his job cos he could spend many sunny hours idling away staring at the tractors at work. When Billy turned 17 his parents got him possibly the greatest gift he could wish for, they stumped up for his tractor drivers license, which he passed in 1 week, and his own personal shiny, red tractor. He fell in love instantly and drove it everywhere, even to school, but on the eve of his 19th birthday something terrible happened. On one of his country tractor trips, Billy ran over a sheep and the tractor rolled over, crushing his spine and neck. Billy was plunged into a coma and the doctors feared he would never walk again. Thankfully, several years after the accident, Billy was released from hospital fit and healthy after a long, hard recovery. When he got back into his own bedroom he suddenly broke down, screaming and cowering in the corner...Billy had developed a severe, paralyzing fear of tractors, psychologists obviously singled out the accident as the cause for this. A few (tractor free) weeks later, Billy's parents took him out to the towns best restaurant for a meal to celebrate his recovery. During their desert, without warning, a fire broke out in the kitchen and quickly raged into the dining area, surrounding all the customers and staff in a fiery circle of destruction. Suddenly, Billy began to take a huge, gasping breath, sucking the air from the room so rapidly the temperature dropped suddenly, and eventually the fire was starved of oxygen and extinguished. The customers in the restaurant cheered and clapped wildly for Billy had saved their lives, his parents stared on, gob smacked by what he had done. "well it's simple really...I'm an ex-tractor fan" xxxx A man is working on the buses in the US collecting tickets. He rings the bell for the driver to set off when there's a woman half getting on the bus. The driver sets off, the woman falls from the bus and is killed. At the trial the man is sent down for murder and seeing as it's Texas he's sent to the electric chair. On the day of his execution he's sat in the chair and the executioner grants him a final wish. "Well" says the man, "is that your packed lunch over there?" "Yes" answers the executioner. "Can I have that green banana?" The executioner gives the man his green banana and waits till he's eaten it. When the man's finished, the executioner flips the switch sending hundreds of thousands of volts through the man. When the smoke clears the man is still alive. The executioner can't believe it. "Can I go?" the man asks. "I suppose so" says the executioner, "that's never happened before." The man leaves and eventually gets a job back on the buses selling tickets. Again he rings the bell for the driver to go when people are still getting on. A man falls under the wheels and is killed. The bloke is sent down for murder again and sent to the electric chair. The executioner is determined to do it right this time so rigs the chair up to the electric supply for the whole of Texas. The bloke is again sat in the chair. "What is your final wish?" asks the executioner. "Can I have that green banana in your packed lunch ?" says the condemned man. The executioner sighs and reluctantly gives up his banana. The bloke eats the banana all up and the executioner flips the switch. Millions of volts course through the chair blacking out Texas. When the smoke clears the man is still sat there smiling in the Well, would you believe, the bloke gets his job back on the buses. Once again he rings the bell whilst passengers are still getting on, this "What's your final wish ?" asks the executioner. "Well" says the man, "Can I have that green banana out of your packed lunch.?" The executioner hands over his banana and the man eats it all, skin included. The executioner pulls the handle and a brazillion volts go through the chair. When the smoke rises the man is still sat there alive without even a burn mark. "I give up" says the executioner, "I don't understand how you Nahh" said the bloke, "I'm just a really bad conductor" xxxx A man walks into the sheriff's office... "I want to become a deputy!"

Woman takes her rabbit to the vet as it's not been feeling well for some time. The vet takes one look at the rabbit and informs the owner that the best thing to do would be to put it down. He said he would do this but there would be a charge of £35. The woman is not happy with his diagnosis and asks for a second opinion. The vet leaves the rooms and two minutes later arrives back with a dog. The dog jumps up on the table and after a few seconds of examining the rabbit shakes it's head as if to say call it a day. The woman is still not happy and insists on a third opinion. The vet leaves the rooms and two minutes later arrives back this time with a cat. The cat leaps on to the table and rubs it paws over the poor rabbit. After a short pause (excuse the pun) the cat indiciates that there is no hope for the rabbit and it would be best to put it down. The woman finally agrees to her rabbit being put down but is astounded when the vet now announces that the cost will be £150. When she questions the vet about the cost he explains that the extra cost is for the LAB RESULTS and the CATSCAN. xxxx

When Jesus asked if he could help, the old man advised him in a shaky voice that he was looking for his son. Jesus wanted to help but didn't think he could as there were millions of people there. "I know I can identify him very easily by the holes in his hands and feet," said the old man. Jesus stares curiously at the wisened figure before him, "Father...?" he asked.
