"Hello, is that you sarge?"

"Yes, go ahead."

"We have a case here. A woman has shot her husband for stepping on the floor she had just porred clean."

"Have you arrested the woman?"

"No sir, the floor is still wet."

After being away on business, Tim thought it would be nice to bring his wife a little gift. "How about some perfume?" he asked the cosmetics clerk. She showed him a bottle costing €250.00.

"That's a bit much," said Tim, so she returned with a smaller bottle for €130.00. "That's still quite a bit," Tim complained.

Growing annoyed, the clerk brought out a tiny €50.00 bottle. "What I mean," said Tim, "is I'd like to see something really cheap and nasty."

The clerk handed him a mirror.

After dying in a car crash, three friends go to Heaven for orientation.

They are all asked the same question, "When you're lying in your casket, and friends and family are mourning over you, what would you like to hear them say about you?"

The first guy immediately responds, "I would like to hear them say that I was one of the great doctors of my time, and a great family man."

The second guy says, "I would like to hear that I was a wonderful husband and school teacher who made a huge difference in the children of tomorrow."

The last guy thinks for a moment, and then replies, "I guess I'd like to hear them say, ' Look, he's moving!'"

A guy named Joe finds himself in dire trouble. His business has gone bust and he's in serious financial trouble. He's so desperate he decides to ask God for help. He begins to pray... "God, please help me. I ve lost my business and if I don t get some money, I'm going to lose my house as well. Please let me win the lotto."

Lotto night comes and somebody else wins it. Joe again prays... "God, please let me win the lotto! I've lost my business, my house and I'm going to lose my car as well". Lotto night comes and Joe still has no luck.

Once again, he prays.. "My God, why have you forsaken me? I've lost my business, my house, and my car.

A first-time father was taking a turn at feeding the baby some strained peas. Naturally, there were traces of the food everywhere, especially on the infant.

His wife comes in, looks at the infant, then at her husband staring into space, then says, "What in the world are you doing?"

He replied, "I'm waiting for the first coat to dry, so I can put on another."

Adventure at Universal Orlando Florida

By Catherine Maguire Your local Travel Agent If fun had a spiritual home, it may well be Orlando. There’s simply so much to do for all ages, with world famous attractions under blue skies and warm sunshine. You’ll love the Italianate style and elegance exuded by 5* Loews Portofino Bay Hotel which is located on-site at Universal Orlando Resort. As an on-site hotel guest, you'll skip the regular queues for the rides and attractions with your free Universal Express Unlimited ride access in both Universal Orlando theme parks.

This break takes you to Universal Orlando Resort, comprising two titans of the theme park world in Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure. Enjoy the exceptional variety of rides, restaurants and live entertainment, and while you’re here it’d be a shame to miss out on The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – with Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley and the Hogwarts Express transporting you to another world. Universal Orlando brings some of the entertainment world’s biggest names to life, for an experience available nowhere else.

While you’re spending each day being wowed and amazed, it’s great to know you have a relaxing 5* hotel to return to.

You’ll love the Italianate style and elegance exuded by Loews Portofino Bay Hotel, where you can unwind with an alfresco coffee on cobblestoned streets, looking out over a serene bay. Your room is furnished and decorated with the comfort and attention to detail you would expect, along with some of the most attentive hospitality you’ll ever experience; all this within walking distance of all the action. With a whole host of perks and benefits that come with staying in the resort, there’s no better way to experience Universal Orlando. A world-renowned destination, Orlando is the place to make all of your vacation dreams come true. Of course, it is beloved for its theme parks: Walt Disney World, Universal Studios Florida, SeaWorld Orlando and many others. But it also beckons with worldclass resorts, shopping opportunities for every budget, all-season golf courses, and

some of the most enticing dining opportunities on the planet. Less known but equally inviting are the downtown sections of Orlando itself and many nearby towns in Central Florida – places that celebrate public art and take pride in offering a myriad of cultural opportunities. Gravity: the world's theme park capital is built to defy it. Orlando boasts some of the finest rides on the planet. They generate the biggest thrills when visitors are swirled, twisted and catapulted in stomach-churning manoeuvres that flout the pull of the earth. Central Florida can provide wallto-wall, ride-to-ride, high-energy excitement. Yet Orlando also has historic, gentle and sophisticated dimensions that far too many visitors overlook. Come to Orlando – and bring the family – and wish upon a star.

Check out the other side of the city, and you discover that gravity is a convenient force that keeps your feet on the ground and helps you discover a fascinating area.

Once you get off the freeway and into the heart of Orlando, you discover that it is a place that manages to be both thriving and relaxed. Walk south along Orange Avenue, the city's main artery, to appreciate some fine 19th-century and Art Deco architecture. Orlando is unusual in having its very own city-centre lake. Lake Eola is a graceful expanse of water that serves to inject some serenity - just what you need after a day at Universal or the Magic Kingdom.Water is key to the Orlando that most visitors miss. The region's very first tourist attraction was a simple boat trip which survives to this day. At the eastern end of Morse Boulevard in the beautiful suburb of Winter Park, you'll find the jetty for a fascinating trip of Orlando's lake district. You can spend an intriguing hour cruising along creeks and across lakes, seeing some beautiful (and expensive) homes. If these clapperboard mansions look strangely familiar, and remind you of communities much further north, that's because many New Englanders settled here towards the end of the 19th century, drawn in by cheap land and the expanding railroad. Winter Park still has its own station, with daily trains to and from New York.

There are approximately 50 million Americans who claim Irish heritage.

Even the current President of the US, Barack Obama has Irish ancestors.

One such citizen Gerry Britt, a native of New York City, traced his roots back to Upperchurch and Drombane in Co. Tipperary. Since then he has visited Ireland on several occasions since 2007 and has travelled around a lot of the country. Gerry has decided to chronicle some of his adventures around Ireland with a collection of humorous and insightful stories in a new book entitled 'Goodwill on Credit, Travels in Ireland'.

While it doesn't proclaim to be a tourist guide book it does contain some useful travel tips. The book mostly contains stories and tales about the places he visited and the people he met. We get a humorous insight into how Irish people and customs are seen from an 'outsider's' point of view.

Small things that we take for granted and accept as the norm, such as timekeeping and even the art of conversation. These insights aren't gleaned from infrequent interactions with the natives between tour bus pit stops, but more quality time spent getting to know people and not being subject to timetables and packed schedules.

There are even some emotional parts in the book, such as first visiting the ancestral home, and you can tell from reading it that when Gerry visits Ireland, he does truly believe he is 'coming home'.

No doubt the welcome he gets from the World's friendliest people and his own ability to engage in banter and a bit of slagging plays a significant part.

The best takeaway from the book for any potential tourists planning to visit Ireland is Gerry's own version of 'how to win friends and influence people', which I won't reveal here, you'll have to buy the book to find that out. Trust me it will be money well spent!

'Goodwill on Credit' is a lovely lighthearted read suitable for tourists and natives alike. This is Gerry's first book and, as I'm sure he won't mind me saying, 'it's not bad ….. for a Yank' :)

ENTERTAINMENT & EVENTS Damien Dempsey solo at The Source Walk around Damien Dempsey’s patch of Dublin’s north side and the places and people are like ancient dolmens round his lyrics. Turn a corner near his family home and there still are the “factories, trains and houses” he sang about.

A generation lies idle in a community struggling to re-establish its identity and sense of self. For Dempsey, people and place are King. His voice is Dublin yet wholly distinctive, almost clichéd to say it, but he is part of a rich bloodline of Irish singers from Luke Kelly to Ronnie Drew, Christy Moore to Andy Irvine. Their kin outside Ireland are Springsteen and Guthrie, Dylan and Marley.

His generosity of spirit, affiliation with those in need and the downtrodden, and recognition of their suffering, remains.

It prevails even when that preoccupation may shine a spotlight on aspects of

modern society that are uncomfortable to face. Dempsey faces them, and himself, and us toe-to-toe.

These days some of the anger of earlier albums have been refocused and now Damien is singing for himself, attempting to put in context his experience as an Irishman who has seen something of the world and learned more about himself, an evolution on previous themes and concepts. Expect anthems on the night such as Busting Outta Here, The Good and the Great, Community and Almighty Love. A spectacular evening is promised.

North Tipperary Hospice Cycle raises over €13,000 The inaugural year of the Shannon Suir Cycle for North Tipperary Hospice Movement was a great success, raising over €13,000 for the organisation.

On what was an unforgettable sunny day last September, the cyclist embarked on a 120k loop, starting and finishing in Dromineer and went throughout much of the North Tipperary catchment area pit stopping in Roscrea, Templemore and Thurles where the cyclist stopped for lunch on the banks of the river Suir. Over 200 people of all ages and fitness levels joined the cycle including 10k family cycle from Nenagh to Dromineer.
