An Irishman was sitting in the Pub driken his favorite brew when finally, he says, “Well, looks like I’ll go home now.” So, he steps off the stool & falls flat on his face! He tries to get up but falls again. He crawls out of the door and all the way home to his bed. The next mornin’ the wife says, “Murphy! Ya ben out driken again have ya?” “Well no, what makes you think so?” “Magee called from the pub & said you left your wheelchair again!”
