At a party, a young wife admonished her husband, “That’s’ the fourth time you’ve gone back
for ice cream and cake. Doesn’t it embarrass you?”
Why should it?” answered her spouse. “I keep telling them it’s for you.”

Patty was driving home absolutely hammered. Suddenly he had to swerve to avoid a tree, then another & another. Eventually a Garda pulled him over & asked why he was driving like a lunatic. Patty explained all about the trees in the middle of the road. The Garda replied, “For feck’s sake Paddy, that’s your air freshener!”
