If we're going to do Irish jokes, this one's my favorite......

Paddy is working on a building site as a labourer for a chippy. They're up on the 3rd floor and the chippy asks Paddy to pop down & bring him up a joist. Paddy is gone for ages, and after about an hour and a half reappears dragging a huge steel girder. The exasperated chippy asks "For f**k's sake Paddy, don't you know the difference between joist and girder" ?

Paddy scratches his head and replies...............
