This Irish joke section is kindly contributed by Chris and Walter from San Francisco (ie I will not be held responsible!):
Barty and Dunny met in a pub and discussed the illness of a friend named Hogan. "Poor Michael Hogan! Faith, I'm afraid he's goin' to die." "Sure, an' why would he be dyin'?" asked the other. "Ah, he's gotten so thin. You're thin enough, and I'm thin -- but by my soul, Michael Hogan is thinner than both of us put together."
