Pat and Mick each had a horse, but they couldn't tell them apart. So Pat cut the tail off his horse, and all went well for a while.
But then Mick's horse lost its tail in an accident, so they were back where they started.
Finally, they consulted a wise man in the village where they lived and he said: "Can't you two fools see that the black horse is six inches taller than the white horse?"
Then there was Barry O'Loughlin who went to the doctor to get some medicine as he wasn't feeling very well.
"This is pretty strong stuff," said the doctor, "so take some the first day, then skip a day, take some again and then skip another day, and so on".
A few months later the doctor met Barry's wife, and asked her how he was.
"Oh, he's dead," she told him.
"Didn't the medicine I prescribed do him any good?" asked the doctor.
"Oh, the medicine was fine," she replied. "It was all that skipping that killed him".
Paddy O'Connor goes to see his doctor: "Doctor, my sex life is terrible, absolutely terrible!"
The doctor examines him, and says, "You need exercise. I want you to run every day, two miles a day. It'll improve your heart rate, your general well-being, your self-image, your libido. Then call me in a week".
A week later, Paddy calls his doctor, says "Well, Doc, I've been running every day, two miles a day, just like you said".
The doctor asks him "So, how's your sex life?"
Paddy says "I don't know. I'm fourteen miles from home."
