Paddy comes into work Monday morning with a black and purple swollen right eye.
The Boss says, ‘Paddy I thought you were a pacifist. Did you get into fight in the pub Saturday?’
‘No way boss, I was sitting quietly in church yesterday, minding my own business, when a large lady moved into the pew directly in front of me. The trouble was that she had obviously just been to the Ladies Room to powder her nose, because I noticed that she had tucked her dress up in her panties.
Being the gentleman that I am, and in order that she would not be further embarrassed, I reached over her pew to lift her dress out of her panties. Then she wheeled around and collected me smack dab in my right eye.’
The boss tried not to laugh at Paddy’s bad luck but said, ‘ Well Paddy let that be a salutary lesson to you.’
A week later Paddy arrived at work with his right eye still bearing the scars of the week before. However, his left eye was now back and purple and nearly closed.
The boss said, ‘Paddy, what have you done? Did you go to church yesterday? What happened?’
‘You are not going to believe this boss, but I was sitting quietly in church when the same lady came in and was going to sit in the same pew as she did last week. Her dress was tucked up in her panties, same as last week. I sat and did not move.
But the bloke beside me saw the problem, reached over and pulled her dress out of her panties. Now I knew that she didn’t like that, so I reached over and tucked her dress back up in her panties.’
