Ventriloquist mark 2

fenderbelly's post reminded me of:

There was a comedian who was doing very well one night and then he opened a suitcase. In it was a dummy.

he set himself up and started talking to the puppet. The puppet told him that he went to school and heard all of these jokes. The comedian (ventriloquist) then asked the puppet to tell him and the audience some of the jokes.

The puppet told a string of jokes- mainly Irish jokes including : the bike race, the unresponsive wife, the 2 clergymen and the old friends (just say if you want them repeated here - the wife one goes on the other joke thread) and the whole audience was laughing.
After the show a little man came up to the comedian and said, " Look, I know everyone was laughing tonight but I'm irish and all these irish joke get a bit too much. I don't see why you concentrate on us and make out we are stupid and not as clever as the english." The comedian replied,' OK I hear what you are saying. But I'm just trying to make a living like everyone else. I don't mean anything nasty when i do my act." The Irishman replied,


"Oh I don't mean you. It was that little bloke that told all the jokes that I was upset with."
