The James T. Callow Folklore Archive

AN IRISHMAN WAS RETURNING TO HIS HOTEL AFTER HAVING ONE
TOO MANY AT A PARTY. HE STUMBLED INTO THE LOBBY, MUMBLED
A GOOD-NIGHT TO THE NIGHT CLERK, AND WENT UP THE STAIRS TO
HIS ROOM.
A MINUTE LATER HE STUMBLED BACK INTO THE LOBBY AND ASKED
THE NIGHT CLERK FOR THE KEY TO HIS ROOM. THE CLERK SAID THAT
HE HAD JUST GIVEN HIM THE KEY EARLIER THAT DAY.
"YES YOU DID," AGREED THE IRISHMAN. "AND I JUST USED IT
TO GET INTO MY ROOM. AND I'M SO BLIND DRUNK I FELL OUT OF
THE WINDOW!"

Submitter comment:

I HEARD THIS JOKE SOMETIME DURING SCHOOL. I CAN'T REMEMBER
WHO TOLD ME.
