Sweet Talking Patrick
Paddy and Murphy are knocking back a few pints of Guinness at the
local pub and in walks O'Rourke.
O'Rourke says, "did ye hear about O'Hara dyin last night?"
Paddy and Murphy, in shock, exclaim, "No! Poor O'Hara. Has anyone told
his wife?" O'Rourke says, "No she hasn't been told yet, but I'll get
sweet talking Patrick to tell her. He is such a sweet talker and so
good with words that he can talk the fish out of the brook and the
birds out of the trees."
They leave to find Patrick and as they are leaving in he walks in and
says, "Good Mornin to ye all lads, a pint on me for everyone."
O'Rourke tells Patrick the sad news about O'Hara dying and asks him to
break the news very gently to his wife, as she doesn't yet know.
Patrick, the sweet talker says, "I will be glad to have a chat with
O'Hara's wife and I'll break it so gently to her that a whimper is all
she'll utter. I'm a man of words and I can charm the fish from the
brook and the birds from the trees. Don't worry lads, I'll take care
of this. They don't call me sweet talker for nuttin."
Well, off they all go to O'Hara's house. Patrick knocks on the door
and O'Hara's wife answers and says, "Yes may I help you?" Sweet
talking Patrick steps forward and at attention says, "Are you the
widow O'Hara?" To which the woman responds, "My name is O'Hara but I'm
not a widow."
Sweet talking Patrick braces himself and exclaims, "Shit you ain't,
woman!"
