Paddy's doing well on "Who wants to be a Millionaire" ...
He's got £500,000. Chris Tarrant asks him the big question for 1 Million quid.
Paddy, for £1 million, who was the great train robber?
Was it - A, Ronnie Barker;
B, Ronnie O'Sullivan;
C, Ronnie Corbett or was it
D, Ronnie Biggs ?"

Paddy say's "Oi'll take de money please Chris"

Chris reminds him that he still has his 3 life lines left.

Paddy again say's "Nope, Oi'll take de money please Chris"

You don't want to phone a friend?" says Chris.

No t'anks, Oi'll take de money - foinal answer"

"OK" says Chris, looking bemused "give him a round of applause ladies and gentlemen, Paddy goes away with £500,000. However before you go, you'll obviously want to know what the answer was Paddy?"

Paddy said "No, yer alroight, Oi knew de answer anyway, t'anks Chris"

"You knew it anyway!....are you mad!!!" asks Chris, "Are you mental?"

Paddy says, "Oi moight be mental Chris....but Oi'm no feckin grass!"

I have to admit I just never saw the punch-line coming.

is that a racist joke

 

[joe-90]

If you substitute Pakistani saying "Velly,velly good", it wouldn't be there now.

Why is it OK to be racist about the Irish?

Why is it OK to be racist about the Irish?

Because its affectionate humour.

steve my old dad never seen it that way, after serving in the war the signs of no irish on job bill boards did not seem very affectionate if you were looking for work but he never was bother about been called paddy as scotts were jocks and the welsh taffy, what was the english man called boss

 

[joe-90]

Irish were seen as uneducated job pincher's that were here for the money.
It all worked out in the end though.

I suppose there are parallels to today's migrants.

 

[billyo]

dont think so joe, our british flag still flys hi in ireland to-day, but not in africa, asia , europe, discounting rocks

Of course it is, but the Moderators don't care, and the Irish are too stupid to realise it.

Difficult to say, it was told to me by an Irishman.
