Paddy took an old used dried jam rag to the Antiques Roadshow.
The antiques expert looked at Paddy and said "this is just and old used sanitary towel".
"I know" said Paddy "but what period is it from?".
One for Jimtherev:
A passenger jet was suffering through a severe thunderstorm. As the passengers were being bounced around by the turbulence, a young woman turned to the priest who was sitting next to her and with a nervous laugh asked, "Father, you're a man of God, can't you do something about this storm?"
The priest replied, "Sorry, I'm in sales not management."
Hmmmmm, my usual responses is "Sales not Production", but same difference, really.
Never taken up a collection, Hydromet, but on my last rather bumpy trip back over the Atlantic was reminded, by the noises coming behind me, of the parish magazine notice:
"Please take notice that the bowl at the back of the church labelled 'for the sick' is for monetary contributions only"

A woman goes to Italy to attend a 2-week company training session. Her husband drives her to the airport and wishes her a good trip. The wife answers: “Thank you honey, what would you like me to bring for you?” The husband laughs and says: “An Italian girl!” The woman said nothing and left. Two weeks later he picks her up in the airport and asks: “So, honey, how was the trip?”
“Very good, thank you.”
“And, what happened to my present?”
“Which present?”
“The one I asked for – an Italian girl.”
“Oh, that” she said, "Well, I did what I could but we'll have to wait for nine months to see if it is a girl!”

Everyday Life in Rural Oklahoma
Man stopped in Guthrie, OK with powdered radioactive uranium, whiskey, and a rattlesnake on the back seat. As you do. His girlfriend was in the passenger seat riding shotgun, literally.
He was stopped for an out of date license plate, after which the cops discovered the vehicle was stolen.
His girlfriend was illegally in possession of a firearm owing to a former felony conviction.
