Halloran takes a lover during the day while her husband is
at work. Her 9 year old son comes home unexpectedly, so she
puts him in the press and shuts the door. Her husband also
comes home, so she puts her lover in the press with her son.
The little boy says, 'Dark in here' The man says, 'Yes it
is.'Her son says - 'I have a skateboard
Man - 'That's nice.'
Son - 'Want to buy it?'
Man - 'No thanks."
Son - 'My Dad's outside.'
Man - 'How much?'
Son - '$500.00.'
In the next few weeks it happens again that the boy and the
lover are in the press together
Son - 'Dark in here.'
Man - 'Yes, it is.'
Son - 'I have a helmet.'
The lover remembering the last time, asks the boy, 'How much?'
Son - '$200.00.'
Man - 'Fine.'
A few days later the father says to the boy, 'Get your skateboard
and helmet and show me how you can ride..
His son says, 'I can't, I sold them.'
The father asks, 'How much did you sell them for?'
Son - '$700.00.'
The father says, 'That's terrible to overcharge your friends
like that, that is way more than those two things cost. I'm
going to take you to church and make you confess.'
They go to the church and the father makes the little boy
sit in the confession booth and he closes the door.
The boy says, 'Dark in here.' The priest says, 'Don't start
that shit again.'
Yup. Barack Obama, 44th President of the good old
USA is as Irish as Bono. His great-great-grandfather came from Moneygall
in County Offaly.
To celebrate, we present the song 'There's No One as Irish as Barack Obama',
sung by Hardy Drew and the Nancy Boys. It became an instant big hit on
YouTube, getting nearly 400,000 views in the first two weeks.
The band have been invited to Washington DC by Irish American Democrats
to perform at Obama's inauguration party on 19th of Janurary 2009. Go
Irish!
So get practising! To help you out, here's the words
of the song:
