THE IRISH WEDDING
To keep tradition going, everyone gets extremely drunk and the bride's and
groom's families have a storming row and begin wrecking the reception room
and generally kicking the sh*t out of each other. The police get called in
to break up the fight.
The following week, all members of both families appear in court. The fight
continues in the courtroom until the judge finally brings calm with the use
of his gavel, shouting, 'Silence in court'.
The courtroom goes silent and Paddy, the best man, stands up and says,
'Judge, I was the best man at the wedding and I think I should explain what
happened.' The judge agrees and asks Paddy to take the stand.
Paddy begins his explanation by telling the court that it is traditional in
a Cavan wedding that the best man gets the first dance with the bride.
The judge says, 'OK.'
'Well,' said Paddy, 'after I had finished the first dance, the music kept
going, so I continued dancing to the second song, and after that the music
kept going and I was dancing to the third song, when all of sudden the groom
leapt over the table, ran towards us and gave the bride an unmerciful kick
right between her legs.'
Shocked, the judge instantly responded, 'God, that must have hurt!'
'Hurt?' Paddy replies. 'He broke three of my fingers
