When Clinton visited the Pope, he noticed a red
phone on a small table in the corner of the office.
After several minutes of conversation, Clinton asked
the Pope what the red phone was.
The Holy Father told him that it was a very special
phone with a direct line to God. However, the Pope
told Clinton he rarely used it because it cost
$20,000 a minute from the Vatican.
Clinton accepted this explanation without another thought.
Later, when Clinton visited Ireland, he saw another
red phone in the Archbishop's office. Being curious,
Clinton asked the Archbishop what it was used for.
The Archbishop told Clinton it was a direct line to God,
and he used it whenever he had a puzzling question or concern.
Clinton asked if the calls were quite expensive since
the Pope had to pay $20,000 a minute when he used
his red phone in the Vatican.
"Oh no," replied the Archbishop, "In Ireland it's a local call."

Irishman went to a pet shop and
asked how many budgies were in
stock. "We have 99" replied the
shop owner "Give us the lot" said
the Irish man, paid for them and
left. He went to a tailors shop
and had 99 pockets sewn into a
jacket, put a budgie in each
pocket, went up to the Post
Office Tower and jumped off.
He hit the ground with an
almighty smack and lay there
groaning until a passer-by came
and asked him what had
happened. "I don't know sur" he
replied "but that's the last time I
try that budgie jumping"
