Subject: Paddy is involved with things that need an explanation
DAILY VISIT FROM A TIRED DOG
An older, tired-looking dog wandered into Paddy's yard; he could tell from his collar and
well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of. He calmly came over to
Paddy, and he gave him a few pats on his head; he then followed Paddy into my house, slowly
walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep.
An hour later, he went to the door, and Paddy let him out. The next day he was back,
greeted Paddy in the yard, walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall and again
slept for about an hour. This continued off and on for several weeks.
Curious, Paddy pinned a note to his collar: 'I would like to find out who the owner of this
wonderful sweet dog is and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon your dog
comes to my house for a nap.'
The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to his collar:
'He lives in a home with 6 children, 2 under the age of 3 - he's trying to catch up on his
sleep. How about I come with him tomorrow?' Paddy wrote back, " By all means!".
UNDERCOVER CLERGY
A minister, Father Paddy and a rabbi went for a hike one day. It was very hot. They were sweating
and exhausted when they came upon a small lake. Since it was fairly secluded, they took off all their
clothes and jumped in the water.
Feeling refreshed, the trio decided to pick a few berries while enjoying their "freedom." As they were
crossing an open area, who should come along but a group of ladies from town. Unable to get to their
clothes in time, the minister and the rabbi covered their privates and Father Paddy covered his face
while they ran for cover.
After the ladies had left and the men got their clothes back on, the minister and the rabbi asked Father Paddy
why he covered his face rather than his privates. He replied, "I don't know about you, but in my congregation,
" It's my face they would recognize."
A NEW CORVETTE
A senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off
down the road, he floored it to 80 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair
he had left. "Amazing," he thought as he flew down I-45, pushing the pedal even more.
Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a state trooper behind him, lights flashing and siren
blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, "What am I
doing? I'm too old for this," and pulled over to await the trooper's arrival.
Pulling in behind him, Paddy, the trooper walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch and said,
"Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday, and you look like a reasonable man.
If you can give me a reason for speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go."
The old gentleman paused. Then said, "5 years ago, my wife ran off with a State Trooper.
When I saw you in the rear view mirror, I thought you were bringing her back."
Paddy flipped his pad shut, "Have a good day, sir," replied Paddy...
