| Jokes |
| One
day Paddy and Sheamus, two brothers, rented a camel for a long trip through
the desert. They thought it would be a good idea to force the camel to
drink some water before they departed for their journey.
They
led the camel to a nearby water hole and Sheamus told Paddy "You pump it's
tail while I hold it's head in the water"
So
after a while Sheamus yelled "I don't think it's working, you suck it's
arse while I hold it's head"
So
Paddy sucked the camels arse and after a few minutes the camel did a big
shit in Paddy's mouth.
He
hastily spat the terd out and yelled "pull his head up Sheamus, he's sucking
up mud."
