An English man and an Irish man are driving head on, at night, on a twisty, dark road.

He hands the bottle to the English man, whom exclaims, 'May the English and the Irish live together forever, in peace, and harmony.'
The English man then tips the bottle and lashes half of it down.
Still flabbergasted over the whole thing, he goes to hand the bottle to the Irish man, whom replies, 'No thanks, I'll just wait till the police get here!'

Two drunk guys are walking home from the pub, when they see a large hole in the ground.
Wanting to find out how deep it was, one man picked up a small pebble, and threw it down the hole.
They waited 5 minutes, but they did not hear the pebble hit the bottom.
Still determined, they found a large boulder, and rolled it down the hole.
They waited another couple of minutes, but they still couldn't hear it hit the bottom.
So they grabbed an old railway sleeper, and hauled it down the hole, still no sound.
They shrugged and were about to give up when a sheep appeared out of no-where, and jumped down the hole.
Shocked they just stood there.
Suddenly a farmer appeared spotting them he asked, 'Have u seen a sheep come pass?'
'Yeah' they replied, 'it just jumped down that hole'

Again, the man replies bluntly, 'You must be crazy pal, now go away!'
Then the salesman reaches into his briefcase and pulls out two brownies and begins munching away on one of them.
He tells the irate guy, 'Sir, please share one of my brownies since I have annoyed you so much.'
Unwrapping the brownie, the guy takes a bite;
suddenly, the guys spits it out and says, 'HEY!', he snarled, 'this brownie tastes like crap!'
'It is!', replies the salesman, 'wanna buy some mouthwash?'

'But officer,'
the man began, 'I can explain.'
'Just be quiet,'
snapped the officer.
'I'm going to let you cool your heels in jail until the chief gets back.'
'But, officer, I just wanted to say,'
'And I said to keep quiet!
You're going to jail!'
A few hours later the officer looked in on his prisoner and said, 'Lucky for you that the chief is at his daughter's wedding.
He'll be in a good mood when he gets back.'
'Don't count on it,'
answered the fellow in the cell.
'I'm the groom.'
