Irish Joke
Paddy and Mick were both laid off, so they went to the unemployment office. When asked his occupation, Paddy answered, 'Knicker Stitcher.. I sew da elastic onto ladies' knickers and thongs..'
The clerk looked up Knicker Stitcher on his computer and, finding it classified as unskilled labour, he gave him £80 a week unemployment pay.
Mick was next in and when asked his occupation replied, 'Diesel Fitter. Since a diesel fitter was a skilled job, the clerk gave Mick £160 a week.
When Paddy found out he was furious.. He stormed back into the office to find out why his friend and co-worker was collecting double his pay.
The clerk explained, 'Knicker Stitchers are unskilled labour and Diesel Fitters are skilled labour.'
'What skill?' yelled Paddy. 'I sew da elastic on da knickers and thongs, then Mick puts 'em over his head and says: 'Yep, diesel fitter.

There used to be a great video on youtube where a fellow orders some breakfast pastries in Scottish English...
"an ahl av a plain in an an ingin in an ah"
(And I'll have a plain one and an onion one and all).
It sounded almost musical in the Scottish accent (and it did NOT sound like he said anything in English at all). But I can't find the video right now.
Here's a similar video, but it only does the "ingin in an ah" part, which is not as impressive.
Why did an Irish man fall out the window? Because he was ironing his curtain! ( this is so not funny)
