It COULD Happen This Way
while, one guy looks at the other and says, "I can't help
but think, from listening to you, that you're from Ireland."
The other guy responds proudly, "Yes, that I am!"
The first guy says, "So am I! And where about from Ireland
might you be?"
The other guy answers, "I'm from Dublin, I am."
The first guy responds, "So am I! Sure and begorra. And what
And what street did you live on in Dublin?"
The other guy says, "A lovely little area it was. I lived on
McCleary Street in the old central part of town."
The first guy says, "Faith and it's a small world. So did I!
So did I! And to what school would you have been going?"
The other guy answers, "Well, now, I went to St. Mary's, of
course."
The first guy gets really excited and says, "And so did I.
Tell me, what year did you graduate?"
The other guy answers, "Well, now, let's see. I graduated in
1964."
The first guy exclaims, "The Good Lord must be smiling down
upon us! I can hardly believe our good luck at winding up in
the same bar tonight. Can you believe it? I graduated from
St. Mary's in 1964 my own self!"
About this time, Vicky walks into the bar, sits down, and
orders a beer.
Brian, the bartender, walks over to Vicky, shakes his head,
and mutters, "It's going to be a long night tonight."
Vicky asks, "Why do you say that, Brian?"
"The Murphy twins are drunk again."
"Well, now, I went to St. Mary's, of
course."
