Does anyone know where to find jokes on why 'Cork is better than Kerry' and 'Irish Mammies'? I'm looking for affectionate but funny jokes, IYKWIM...
 
Well, it's not true (Kilkenny is, of course, better than either of them), but this is for a birthday party for a lady from Cork, married to a Kerryman and living in Kerry, so that seems appropriate!!
 
Not strictly to the point, but spotted in the editorial of the Daily Telegraph today under the heading "An Irish joke for our own time".

An Irish labourer turns up at a building site and asks for work. "Have you done this before ?" asks the foreman. "Do you know the difference between a girder and a joist?" "Ach, sure, " says the labourer. "Goethe wrote Faust, Joyce wrote Ulysses."
 
Pat Spillane, Colm O'Rourke, and Jarlath Burns are standing before
God at the throne of Heaven.
God looks at them and says; "Before granting you a place at my side, I
must first ask you what you believe in."
Addressing Colm O'Rourke first, he asks "What do you believe?"
O'Rourke looks God in the eye,and states passionately,"I believe
Gaelic football to be the food of life. Nothing else brings such
unbridled joy to so many people, from the slums of East Tyrone, to the
kingdom of Kerry. I have devoted my life to bring such joy to those
people who stood on the terraces supporting their club and county"
God looks up and offers Colm the seat to his left.
He then turns to Jarlath Burns. "And you, Mr Burns. What do you
believe?"
Jarlath stands tall and proud, "I believe courage, honour and passion
are the fundamentals to life, and I've spent my whole playing career
providing a living embodiment of these traits".
God, moved by the passion of the speech offers Jarlath the seat to his
right.
Finally, he turns to Pat Spillane. "And you, Mr Spillane. What do you
believe"
"I believe", says Pat, "that you're in my seat".
