There has been a longstanding stereotype that Irish folks like to drink to excess, and whether this is true or not, it has certainly provided us all with some very funny jokes. Now, a new Irish joke is going viral that is so funny that it’s being hailed as the best Irish joke of all time! Check it out for yourself below.

Two men were sitting next to one another at Murphys Pub in London, and after awhile, one of the blokes turned to the other and said, “I can’t help but think, from listening to you, that you’re from Ireland.”

“Yes, that I am!” the bloke responded, to which the first one replied, “So am I! And where about from Ireland might you be?”

“Im from Dublin, I am,” the other bloke said, and the first one replied, “So am I!”

“Mother Mary and begora,” the other bloke said. “And what street did you live on in Dublin?”

“A lovely little area it was. I lived on McCleary Street in the old central part of town,” he replied, to which the first one said, “Faith and it’s a small world. So did I! So did I! And to what school would you have been going?”

“Well now, I went to St. Marys, of course,” the other bloke said, with the first one replying, “And so did I. Tell me, what year did you graduate?”

“Well, now, lets see. I graduated in 1964,” the other bloke said.

“The Good Lord must be smiling down upon us!” the first bloke exclaimed. “I can hardly believe our good luck at winding up in the same place tonight. Can you believe it, I graduated from St. Marys in 1964 my own self!”

At this point, a woman named Vicky came in and sat down at the bar. The bartender Brian walked over to her and said, “It’s going to be a long night tonight.”

“Why do you say that, Brian?” Vicky asked.

“The Murphy twins are drunk again.”
