Irish Jokes

A primary teacher starts a new job at a school in West Kerry and explains to her class that she is a Kerry fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Kerry fans. Everyone in the class raises their hands except one little girl. The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says: "Mary, why didn't you raise your hand?"

"Because I'm not a Kerry fan" she replied. The teacher, still shocked, asked: "Well, if you're not a Kerry fan, then who are you a fan of?"

"I'm a Cork fan, and proud of it," Mary replied. The teacher could not believe her ears. "Mary, why, pray to God are you a Cork fan?" "Because my Mum and Dad are from Cork, and my mum
is a Cork fan and my Dad is a Cork fan, so I'm a Cork fan too!"

"Well", said the teacher, in an obviously annoyed tone, "that's no reason for you to be a Cork fan. You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mum was a prostitute and your dad was a drug addict and a car thief, what what would you be then?"

"Then", Mary smiled, "I'd be a Dublin fan".
