Two men walk into a pet shop in Co Galway

They head to the bird section, and Gerry says to Paddy, "Dat's dem."

The owner comes over and asks if he can help them. "Yeah, we'll take four of dem dere little budgies in dat cage up dere," says Gerry.

The owner puts the budgies in a paper bag. Paddy and Gerry pay for the birds, leave the shop and get into Gerry's truck to drive to the top of Connor's Pass.

At Connor's Pass, Gerry looks down at the 1000 foot drop and says,"Dis looks like a grand place." He takes two birds out of the bag, puts them on his shoulders and jumps off the cliff.

Paddy watches as Gerry falls all the way to the bottom, killing himself stone dead.

Looking down at the remains of his best pal, Paddy shakes his head and says, "Damn dat. Dis budgie jumping is too bloody dangerous for me!"

THERE'S MORE

Moment's later, Seamus arrives up at Connor's Pass. He's been to the pet shop too, and walks up to the edge of the cliff, carrying another paper bag in one hand and a shotgun in the other.

"Hi, Paddy.. Watch dis" Seamus says. He takes a parrot from the bag and throws himself over the edge of the cliff.

Paddy watches as half way down, Seamus takes the gun and shoots the parrot.

Seamus continues to plummet down and down, until he hits the bottom, and breaks every bone in his body.

Paddy shakes his head and says, "And I'm never trying dat parrotshooting either!"

..... IT'S NOT OVER YET

Paddy is just getting over the shock of losing two friends, when Sean O'Driscoll appears.

He's also been to the pet shop, and is carrying a paper bag, out of which he pulls a chicken.

Sean O'Driscoll then hurls himself off the cliff and disappears down and down, until he hits a rock and breaks his spine.

Once more Paddy shakes his head in disbelief,

"Damn dat, lads. Dese adventure sports are too dangerous for me....

first dere was Gerry with his budgie jumping....

den Seamus parrotshooting.....

and now Sean and his bloody hen gliding!"

As a judge, I was sentencing criminal defendants when I saw a vaguely familiar face. I reviewed his record and found that the man was a career criminal, except for a five-year period in which there were no convictions. "Milton," I asked, puzzled, "how is it you were able to stay out of trouble for those five years?"

"I was in prison," he answered. "You should know that -- you were the one who sent me there."

"That's not possible," I said. "I wasn't even a judge then.

"No, you weren't the judge," the defendant countered, smiling mischievously. "You were my lawyer."
