Paddy was leaving Ireland to seek work in London.

On the morning of his leaving, his next door neighbour, Mrs Dunne, came to see him and said, "Oh Paddy, my youngest son Neeley is in London and I haven't had a letter from him in over two months. Would you see him and ask him to write? I'm so worried about him."

"Where does he live?" asked Paddy. "London is a big place."

"I'm not sure of the address," she said, "but I know it is in WC1."

"Okay," said Paddy, and off he went.

The following evening, Paddy found himself on Waterloo Station, wondering where he might find Mrs Dunne's son Neeley.

Suddenly he saw a sign saying WC's, and an arrow pointing downstairs. On going down the stairs he found a row of cubicles marked 1, 2, 3, etc.

He went to cubicle 1 and found it engaged. He knocked the door and a voice said, "I'll be out in a minute."

Paddy waited then tried again with the same result.

After several repetitions of this, Paddy knocked the door in an impatient manner and shouted, "Are you Neeley Dunne?"

The voice replied, "Yes, but I can't find any paper."

Paddy shouted angrily, "I don't care. That's no excuse for not writing to your mother!"

An Irishman applies for a job, but the foreman won't employ him until he
passes a little maths test.
"Here's your first question, the foreman said. "Without using numbers,
represent the number 9."
"Without numbers?" the Irishman says, "Dat is easy." and proceeds to
draw three trees.
"What's this?" the boss asks.
"Haven't you got a brain? Tree and tree and tree makes nine," says the
Irishman.
"Fair enough," says the boss. "Here's your second question. Apply the
same rules using the number 99, this time."
The Irishman stares into space for a while, then picks up the picture
that he has just drawn and makes a smudge on each tree. "Dere you go."
The boss scratches his head and asks, "How on earth do you get that to
represent 99?"
"Each of da trees is dirty now. So, it's dirty tree, and dirty tree,
and dirty tree. Dat equals 99."
The boss starts getting worried that he's actually going to have to
give the Irishman the job, so he says, "All right, final question: same
rules again, but represent the number 100."
The Irishman stares into space for a while, then picks up the picture
again and makes a little mark at the base of each tree and says, "Dere
you go. One hundred."
The boss looks at the illustration and bursts out: "You must be nuts
if you think that represents a hundred! whereby the Irishman leans forward and points to the marks at the base of each tree, saying: "A little dog came along and crapped by each tree. So now you've got dirty tree and a turd, dirty tree and a turd and dirty tree and a turd, dat makes one hundred... So, when do I start?!"
