| Jokes |
| These
two Irish blokes are stood on top of a cliff One has a budgie on each shoulder.
The other has a parrot on one shoulder.
The
first jumps off the cliff and half way down both budgies fly off, he hits
the deck with crash and is barely alive as he rolls around groaning on
the rocks.
The
second jumps off the cliff with the parrot on his shoulder and as he gets
half way down the parrot flies off. He reaches inside his jacket pulls
out a shot gun and blows the parrot away just before he lands on the rocks
below. This Irish man again is just about alive as he lies on the ground
in agony.
As
they both lie there in immense pain the first to jump says, "I don't think
much of this Budgie Jumping."
The
other replies, "I don't think much of this Free fall Parrot Shooting either."
