The doctor says to Murphy. “Right Murphy. Your wife has just had her
tenth baby. I think it’s time you started taking precautions.”



“Oi’ll take anything that stops me wife havin’ more babies.” Says
Murphy.



“Right then Murphy. Here’s a prescription for condoms. Take it to the
chemist and he will give you a box of 100.”



“Roight.” Says Murphy. “But what do Oi do with’em.”



“No problem.” says Doc, “The instructions are on the box.”



A few weeks later, Murphy calls to see the Doctor.

“Can you come round please doctor. Oi think me wife’s pregnant.”



“Pregnant!“ says the doctor. “Didn’t you use the condoms?”



“Ter be sure Oi did. But they weren’t any good.” Says Murphy.



The doctor calls round to Murphy’s house and Murphy lets him in.

When they go into the front room, the doctor sees an upright piano in
the corner.

Hammered into the top of the piano, at each end, are two 6 inch nails.

A condom is stretched tight and tied to the two nails.



The doctor points at the condom on the nails.

“What’s that doing there?” he asks.



“Well that’s what the instructions on the packet said.” Says Murphy.

“The instructions said. Stretch well over organ, Well, as I haven’t got
an organ, I thought a piano would do.”

A blonde female police officer pulls over a blonde gal in a convertible sports car for speeding. She walks up to the car and asks the blonde for her driver's license.

The blonde convertible driver searches through her purse in vain. Finally she asks, "What does it look like?"

The blonde police officer tells her, "It's that thing with your picture on it."

The blonde driver searches for a few more seconds, pulls out her compact, opens it and sure enough, sees herself. She hands the compact to the blonde cop.

After a few seconds looking at the compact, the blonde cop rolls her eyes, hands the compact back to the blonde convertible driver and says, "If you would have told me you were a police officer when I first pulled you over, we could have avoided this whole thing."

An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years.

He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%.

The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, "Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again"


The gentleman replied, "Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times!"
