Two Mayo men walk into a pet shop. Right away they go over to the bird section. Gerry says to Paddy,
"Dat's dem." The clerk comes over and asks if he can help them.
"Surenow ,we'll be takin four of dem dere budgies in dat cage op dere", says Gerry.
"Put dem in a peeper beg". The clerk does and the two guys pay for the birds and leave the shop. They get into Gerry's van and drive until they are high up in the hills and stop at the top of a cliff with a 500-foot drop.
"Dis looks like a grand place, eh?" says Gerry. He then takes two birds out of the bag, places on on each of his shoulders and jumps off the cliff. Paddy watches as his mate drops off the edge and goes straight down
for a few seconds, followed by a 'SPLAT'. As Paddy looks over the edge of the cliff, he shakes his head and says,
"Foock dat, dis budgie jumpin' is too foockin' dangerous for me!"
PART TWO
=======
A minute later, Seamus arrives. He, too, has been to the pet shop and
he walks up carrying the familiar 'peeper beg'. He pulls a parrot out of
the bag, and then Paddy notices that,in his other hand, Seamus is carrying a gun.
"Hi dare, Paddy. Watch dis", Seamus says and launches himself over
the edge of the cliff. Paddy watches as, halfway down, Seamus takes the gun and blows the parrot's head off. Seamus continues to plummet until
there is a SPLAT, as he joins Gerry's remains at the bottom. Paddy shakes his head and says,
" Fook dat too - An' oim never troyin' dat parrotshooting nider".
PART THREE
=========
A few minutes after Seamus splats himself, Sean strolls up. He too
has been to the pet shop and he walks up carrying a familiar 'peeper'
beg. But instead of a parrot, he pulls a chicken out of the bag, and launches himself over the cliff, with the usual result. Once more, Paddy shakes his head.
"Fook me Sean, first der was Gerry wit his budgie jumping, den Seamus parrotshooting, and now you, fockin' hen gliding".
