The following is an actual advertisement in an Irish newspaper.
1985 Blue Volkswagen
Never driven hard. Original tires. Original brakes.
Original fuel and oil
Only 1 driver. Owner wishing to sell due to employment lay-off.
Thanks to John who keeps me well supplied with plenty of jokes.
Barbara sent me this with its Irish theme.

On holiday in Europe, David noticed a marble column in a church in Rome with a golden telephone on it.
As a young priest passed by, David asked who the telephone was for. The priest told him it was a direct line to Heaven, and if he'd like to call, it would be a thousand dollars. David was amazed, but declined the offer.
Throughout Europe David kept seeing the same golden telephone on a marble column at each church. When he asked about it the answer was always the same ie a direct line to Heaven and he could call for a thousand dollars.
David finished his European tour in Ireland. He decided to attend Mass at a local village church. When he walked in the door he noticed the golden telephone, but underneath it there was a sign stating:
DIRECT LINE TO HEAVEN - 25 cents
"Father," he said I have been all over Europe and in all the cathedrals I visited, I've seen telephones exactly like this one but the price is always a thousand dollars. Why is it that this one is only 25 cents?
The priest smiled and said, "Son, You're in Ireland now, it's only a local call!
I can tell you with the terrible summer weather we're experiencing here it feels far from heavenlike.

Excellent jokes! I especially enjoyed the second one. The Irish love to think that they are the closest to God...St Patrick is going to get us all into heaven apparently.
