Two Irishmen walk into a pet shop in Dingle. They head to the bird
section and Gerry says to Paddy, "Dat's dem." The owner comes over and
asks if he can help them. "Yeah, we'll take four dem dere little
budgies in dat cage up dere," says Gerry. The owner puts the budgies
in a cardboard box. Paddy and Gerry pay for the birds, leave the shop
and get into Gerry's truck to drive to the top of the Connor Pass. At
the Connor Pass, Gerry looks down at the 1000 foot drop and says,"Dis
looks like a grand place." He takes two birds out of the box, puts one
on each shoulder and jumps off the cliff. Paddy watches as the budgies
fly off and Gerry falls all the way to the bottom, killing himself stone dead.
Looking down at the remains of his best pal, Paddy shakes his head and
says, "Stuff dat. Dis budgie jumping is too dangerous for me!"
THERE'S MORE...
Moment's later, Seamus arrives up at Connor Pass. He's been to The pet
shop too and walks up to the edge of the cliff carrying another
cardboard box in one hand and a shotgun in the other. "Hi, Paddy.
Watch dis," Seamus says. He takes a parrot from the box and lets him fly free.
He then throws himself over the edge of the cliff with the gun. Paddy
watches as half way down, Seamus takes the gun and shoots the parrot.
Seamus continues to plummet down and down until he hits the bottom and breaks every bone in his body. Paddy shakes his head and says, "And I'm
never trying dat parrotshooting either!"
IT IS NOT OVER YET...
Paddy is just getting over the shock of losing two friends when Sean
appears. He's also been to the pet shop and is carrying a cardboard box
out of which he pulls a chicken. Sean then takes the chicken by its
legs and hurls himself off the cliff and disappears down and down until
he hits a rock and breaks his spine. Once more Paddy shakes his head.
"First dere was Gerry with his budgie jumping, den Seamus parrot
shooting and now Sean and his hengliding!"
