A man is stuck on the M50 in traffic when a garda knocks on his window. Man: ‘Whats going on?,’ asks the driver.

Garda: ‘Pensioners have kidnapped Cowen, Lenihan, Harney and a bunch of bankers and are going to douse them wit petrol and set them alight unless they get 30 million ransom, I am going from car to car taking a collection’.

Credit Crunch – A husband and wife are shopping in Tesco’s and the man picks up a crate of Stella beer and sticks it in the trolley.
Wife: „What do you think you’re doing?”
Husband: „They’re on offer, 10 quid for 24 cans” he says,
Wife: „Put them back we can’t afford it”
They carry on shopping and a few aisles down the wife picks up a 20 quid jar of face cream and puts it in the trolley.

Husband: „So does 24 cans of Stella & it’s half the price!”

A new teacher was getting to know the kids by asking them their names and what their father did for a living. The first little girl said my name is Mary and my Dad is a postman. The next child said my name Andy and my Dad is a mechanic. And so on it went. Until one little boy said my name is Johnny and my father is a striptease artist in a gay bar. The teacher gasped and quickly changed the subject. Later the teacher approached Johnny privately and asked is your Dad really a dancer in a gay bar? Little Johnny
blushed and said no. He’s really a bank manager. I am just too embarrassed to tell anyone.
