Polish Joke
A guy walks into a bar and orders a beer. As the bartender pours it, the guy says, “I just heard the funniest Polish joke! You’ve gotta hear it.”
The bartender leans over the bar and growls, “Buddy, I’m Polish. You see the two big bouncers over there? They’re the Kowalski brothers. Do you still want to tell that Polish joke?”
“Nah,” says the guy. “I don’t want to have to explain it three times.”

There was an American man that had an meeting in France. He met a woman and that night they had their own meeting. While they were where having sex, she was yelling, “TROU FAUX,TROU FAUX.” He did not know what that meant, but assumed it to be some sort of praise.
The next day, he went to play golf with the men he had the meeting with. One of them made a hole in one. He yelled, “TROU FAUX,TROU FAUX !”
They looked at him and said, “what do you mean wrong hole?”
A young man was lost wandering in a forest, when he came upon a small house. He knocked on the door and was greeted by an ancient Chinese man with a long, grey beard. “I’m lost,” said the man. “Can you put me up for the night?”
“Certainly,” the Chinese man said, “but on one condition. If you so much as lay a finger on my daughter, I will inflict upon you the three worst Chinese tortures known to man.”
“Ok,” said the man, thinking that the daughter must be pretty old as well, and entered the house.
Before dinner, the daughter came down the stairs. She was young,beautiful, and had a fantastic figure. She was obviously attracted to the young man since she couldn’t keep her eyes off him during the meal. Remembering the old man’s warning, he ignored her and went up to bed alone. But during he night, he could bear it no longer, and sneaked into her room for a night of passion. He was careful to keep everything quiet so the old man wouldn’t hear. Near dawn he crept back to his room, exhausted, but happy.
He woke to feel a pressure on his chest. Opening his eyes he saw a large rock on his chest with a note on it that read, “Chinese Torture 1: Large rock on chest.” “Well, that’s pretty crappy,” he thought. “If that’s the best the old man can do then I don’t have much to worry about.” He picked the boulder up, walked over to the window and threw the boulder out. As he did so he noticed another note on it that read: “Chinese Torture 2: Rock tied to left testicle.” In a panic he glanced down and saw the rope that was already getting close to the end. Figuring that a few broken bones was better than castration, he jumped out of the window after the boulder. As he plummeted downward he saw a large sign on the ground that read, “Chinese Torture 3: Right testicle tied to bedpost.”

Chinese translation proved difficult for Coke, which took two tries to get it right. They first tried Ke-kou-ke-la because when pronounced it sounded roughly like Coca-Cola. It wasn’t until after thousands of signs had been printed that they discovered that the phrase means “bite the wax tadpole” or “female horse stuffed with wax,” depending on the dialect. Second time around things worked out much better. After researching 40,000 Chinese characters, Coke came up with “ko-kou-ko-le” which translates roughly to the much more appropriate “happiness in the mouth.”
Not to be outdone, Puffs tissues tried later to introduce its product, only to learn that “Puff” in German is a colloquial term for a whorehouse. The English weren’t too fond of the name either, as it’s a highly derogatory term for a non-heterosexual.

A truck driver had a 2 day lay-over during the St. Patrick’s Day holiday. He was getting bored with just sitting at the truck stop cafe, so he decided to go for a few beers. After about the 4th one, he had to use the bathroom badly. He went into the bathroom, and he was peeing, lhe ooked into the next stall and noticed a leprechaun whose penis was HUGE!
“Let me ask you something…how come short guys have bigger peckers than tall guys?”
In his heavy Irish accent, the leprechaun looked up and said, “I don’t know laddy, i’m a leprechaun”.
With that, the trucker reached out and grabbed him and said, “Well guess what? I caught ya!”
“Aye lad, that ya did, but your wishes won’t come true until tomorrow morning”.
The trucker was confused by this, “Why not? You’re a leprechaun, I caught ya, so you are supposed to grant me 3 wishes.”
“Well”, began the leprechaun, “you don’t know anything about us leprechauns. We get a day of the year off and it happens to be St. Patrick’s Day.” Well, the trucker understanding this made his 3 wishes. He wanted to own his trucking company, he wanted every woman he saw to desire his body and he wanted 10 million dollars in the bank, tax free. The leprechaun said it would be done in the morning. On his way out of the restroom, the leprechaun says, “Lad, would you like to have your wishes come true tonight?”
“Well yeah, but what’s the catch?”, came the reply. “Well, you gotta let a leprechaun corn-hole ya.” The trucker, at first protested, but then the leprechaun reminded him of all that he would be gaining in few precious moments. Thinking about the money, the company becoming his and ALL those women, he agreed but told the leprechaun not to tell anyone. When it was all over, the leprechaun was getting ready to leave, turned to the trucker and said, “Laddy, can I ask ya a question?”
“Sure”, says the trucker.
“How old are ya now?”
“I’m 40 years old” says the trucker.
With that, the leprechaun says, “You mean to tell me that you’re 40 years old and still believe in leprechauns?”
One day a man walked in a bar with a box. He sat down, opened the box and out popped a leprechaun. The man told the bartender, “I want a pint of beer and a shot of whiskey for my buddy here.”
There was man sitting at the end of the bar watching all of this and, after the leprechaun drank his shot of whiskey, he ran down to the end of the bar and spit in the guy’s face. Then he ran back.
The guy with the box said, “I’ll have another beer and a shot of whiskey for my buddy here.”
After the leprechaun drank his shot of whiskey, he again ran to the end of the bar and spit in the man’s face, then dashed back.
The guy with the box ordered another beer for himself and another shot for the leprechaun. Again, the after the leprechaun drank his shot of whiskey, he ran down to the end of the bar. But this time the man was waiting for him and he grabbed the leprechaun and held him in the air.
He said, “If you spit in my face again, I’m going to cut your pecker off.”
The leprechaun laughed and said, “Leprechauns don’t have peckers.”
Then the man said, “If you don’t have peckers, then how do you pee?”
“By spitting,” said the leprechaun.
An Irish man walks into a pub. The bartender asks him, “what’ll you have?” The man says, “Give me three pints of Guinness please.”
So the bartender brings him three pints and the man proceeds to alternately sip one, then the other, then the third until they’re gone. He then orders three more.
The bartender says, “Sir, I know you like them cold. You don’t have to order three at a time. I can keep an eye on it and when you get low I’ll bring you a fresh cold one.”
The man says, “You don’t understand. I have two brothers, one in Australia and one in the States. We made a vow to each other that every Saturday night we’d still drink together. So right now, my brothers have three Guinness Stouts too, and we’re drinking together.
The bartender thought that was a wonderful tradition. Every week the man came in and ordered three beers. Then one week he came in and ordered only two. He drank them and then ordered two more.
The bartender said to him, “I know what your tradition is, and I’d just like to say that I’m sorry that one of your brothers died.”
The man said, “Oh, me brothers are fine - I just quit drinking.”
What does a leprechaun call a happy man wearing green?
A jolly green giant.
