He's quiet and careful because his wife would pitch a fit. Staggering, he trips over the cat, falls over and breaks the bottle of whiskey in his back pocket. Cut his bum to pieces. He hurried to the bathroom to examine the damage and once he'd fixed himself up, stumbled off to bed.<br /><br />Next morning, his wife gives him a gimlet eye. "You went out and got drunk again, didn't you."<br /><br />Paddy gaped at her. "And how would you be knowing that?"<br /><br />"Because there are band-aids all over the mirror!"<br /><br />Sadly, they don't make comedians like him any more; nowadays jokes are filled with expletives.Jaye Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05595648222196000153noreply@blogger.com
