Irish Birth Control

Mrs. Donovan was walking down O'Connell Street in Dublin when  
she  met up with Father Flaherty.

The  Father said, 'Top o' the mornin'  To  ye! Aren't ye Mrs. Donovan and  
didn't I marry ye and yer' Hoosband  couple 'a years ago?'


She replied, 'Aye, that ye' did, Father.'


The Father asked, 'And be there  any  wee little ones yet?'


She replied, 'No, not yet, Father.'


The Father said, 'Well now, I'm  going to Rome next week and  
I'll light a fertility candle for ye' And  yer' hoosband.'


She replied, 'Oh, thank ye, Father...'  They then parted ways..


Some  years later they met again.  The  Father asked, 'Well now,  
Mrs. Donovan, how are ye these days?'  
She  replied, 'Oh, very well, Father!'  
The  Father asked, 'And tell me, have ye' any wee ones yet?'


She  replied, 'Oh yes, Father!  Two  sets of twins and six singles,  
Ten wee ones in all!'


The Father said, 'Oh, that's wonderful!  
And how's yer' loving hoosband doing?'


She replied, 'E's gone to Rome  
to  blow out yer' fookin' candle!'
