The House of Ill-Repute

Two Irishmen are working in a ditch across the street from a brothel. A Protestant minister comes walking along and quickly sneaks behind the door.  The two men shake their heads and one says to the other, “What kind o’ time do we live in when men of the cloth ‘be visiting such places?”

They muse over this for a while and are getting back to work when a rabbi makes a dash for the brothel.  The two look at each other and the other says, “It’s no wonder that the children of  today are so confused, what with the example that the clergy are setting.”

They’re mulling over this when a Catholic priest sneaks up to the house-of-ill-repute, glances to make sure that no one is looking, and ducks inside.

The two men lean on their shovels,look at each other, and the one says, sympathetically, “Ah, what a shame…one of the poor lassies must be dying.”
