Laughter Spot : “I’ll put on me best English accent”

Paddy and Mick were walking along a street in London.

Paddy  looked in one of the shop windows and saw a sign that caught  his eye. The sign read… “Suits £5.00 each, Shirts £3.00 each, Trousers £4.50 per pair”.

Paddy  said to his pal, “Mick look at these prices!

We could  buy a whole lot of those and when we get back to Ireland we could make a fortune.”

Now when we go in you stay quiet, okay? Let me do all da  talking ’cause if they hear our accents, they might think we’re thicko’s from Ireland and try to screw us.

I’ll put on me best English accent.”

“Roight  y’are Paddy, I’ll keep me mout shut, so I will. You do all da business” said Mick.

They go in and Paddy  said in a posh voice “Hello my good man.  I’ll take 50 suits at £5.00 each, 100 shirts at £3..00 each

and 50 pairs of trousers at £4.50 each.

And oy’ll back up me truck ready to load ’em on, so I will.”

The owner of the shop said quietly “You’re from Ireland , aren’t you?”

“Well yes” said a surprised Paddy. “What gave it away?”

The owner replied  “This is a  dry-cleaners.”
