Paddy and Mick tread their way carefully among hapless parachutists, distraught submariners, dogs with flat noses, ingenuous priests, guileless colleens, fragmented bomb disposal experts nad apocryphal men in pubs.

How many Irish jokes have you ever heard? And how many do you remember? Worry not - they are all here plus many more.

Mr O'S has tirelessly collected all those jokes that people have told him and his fellow countrymen. And he gratefully dedicates this volume to all those Irishmen who have courageously suffered the slings and arrows of outrageous slander and cheerfully donated their favourites to this libellous collection. Who else would have such wit and generosity? Who else would be so daft?
