Fond of a Double Entendre … Obviously

By Cormac G. McDermott

Laughs abound on every page as author Cormac G. McDermott presents this collection of jokes and double entendres with wit and verve. He builds jokes around small nuggets of information, culminating in punch lines that shock, amaze, and tickle the funny bone.

From sports to music, from food to the business world, no subject is off limits. Youll never look at the English language the same way again.

'A friend said to me, I love Mars bars. ... I quipped, Public houses on the Red Planet are Mars bars also, but if you and your mates were to consume a bar or two of chocolate, it probably wouldnt lead to you ending up getting involved in a sing-song with aliens!!

It makes me laugh when I hear people describing something easy as being like stealing candy from a baby. If you were to try take one of those hash lollipops they sell in Amsterdam away from Biffa Bacons Rastafarian six-month-old, it might be a totally different proposition altogether!!

I’m sure you’ve all heard the one about the guy with tarmac under his armpit ordering a drink for himself and one for the road but had he ended up with brewer’s droop he may not have been able to ‘lay’ his wife but at least he’d have been able to ‘lay’ his driveway instead, ey??!!

I often chuckle to myself that it was a good thing that Georgie Best got out of Belfast at the height of The Troubles……….the reason being there were thousands who lost their lives but if he was around there would have been even more ‘murdering’……….of pints of lager that is!!

While watching England play a friendly match in the run up to the World Cup of 2010 in South Africa when the commentator said ‘they wouldn’t rest on their laurels’……….I said to my dad ‘when Oliver Hardy refused to sleep in the top bunk he wouldn’t rest on his Laurels either but I suppose it wasn’t long before the England team got themselves into another fine mess also was it??’!!

They used to make beautiful rugs in Persia……….well I believe that greatly pleases the quickly balding Ali Babba……….but not only because he loves to travel in comfort but also because he likes to cover his head with these nice rugs………..he covers the top of his head with glue so his magic carpet flight schedule is not disrupted by ash coming from erupting volcanos in Iceland!! 

I asked one of the lads what band was playing on the radio when he replied ‘Aerosmith’……….I quipped ‘if that’s AEROsmith, SNICKERSsmith recorded ‘NUTS Off In An Elevator’!!

I asked a girl who I had sex with if she was a virgin before we made love, as she seemed to know how to do all the right things, when she replied ‘you’re the only one’……….I retorted ‘if I’m the only one who has made love to you ‘fifty million French men who can’t be wrong ‘Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest’’!!

Did yiz ever hear the one about the frigid vegetarian??…..there’s been about as much ‘meat’ in her as there is in blind Scouse for nuns made on Good Friday!!

To the tune of ‘Parachute’ by Cheryl Cole which attempted to throw a little light humour on England’s 2010 World Cup aspirations in South Africa……….it was written in the week leading up to the beginning of the tournament during June!!

‘Ah Jamie,

Had his summer hols all planned.

Ah Jamie,

Had retired from playing ball for Eng-er-land.

Was just an understudy,

Just an understudy.

But a chance came round,

He did receive re-call.

Sound.

Now ah Jamie is South Africa bound,

Ah Jamie, passion for England re-found.

Was just an understudy,

Just an understudy.

Wants to give his all,

Wants to play football.

Sound.

But, please don’t let Carra shoot,

If yiz want to go through,

If yiz want to go through,

Please don’t let Carra shoot.

His scoring record,

His scoring record’s appalling.

So un-sound.

But, please don’t let Carra shoot,

If yiz want to go through,

If yiz want to go through,

Please don’t let Carra shoot.

His scoring record,

His scoring record’s appalling.

So un-sound.

For Jules Rimet,

The England boys want to fight.

Stevie G wants to lift it upright.

Wazza argues with referees,

And the air turns blue.

Fabio will have some words,

In his ears calmly.

If yiz let Wazza shoot,

He might win Golden Boot,

He might win Golden Boot,

If yiz let Wazza shoot.

His scoring record,

His scoring record’s enthralling.

So, so sound.

If yiz let Wazza shoot,

He might win Golden Boot,

He might win Golden Boot,

If yiz let Wazza shoot.

His scoring record,

His scoring record’s enthralling.

So, so sound.

English football’s so good,

Watched all round the world.

English football’s so good,

Watched all round the world.

English football’s so good,

Watched all round the world.

English football’s so good,

We all like to view.

English football’s so good,

A friend of mine said to me one day about a girl I fancied ‘don’t go near her, she’s a maneater’……….I quipped ‘Hannibal Lector is a maneater also but at least she wouldn’t think I’d go well with chiante and some fava beans’!!  

I was at a wake when a guy said about the corpse ‘he didn’t have a pick on him in his coffin’……….I quipped ‘Leon Trotsky didn’t have a ‘pick’ on him when he lay in his coffin either but at least he got a mention in ‘No More Heroes’ by The Stranglers’!!

I was out in Leopardstown here in Dublin watching the horses when I got into a disagreement with a man……….I said ‘listen mate, I’m a mirror…..you looked into my face and saw what you didn’t like about yourself’……….he retorted ‘I’m a mirror too’……….I responded ‘if you’re a mirror Michael Jackson recorded ‘Man In The RACING POST’!!

I know a guy who said to me when we were kids, because his name was Rush, that Ian (the Liverpool legend) was his uncle……….I retorted ‘if Ian Rush is your uncle David McCallum starred in ‘The Man From Totally Unrelated Great Grand AUNT’!!

I’ve learned that a football referee is referred to as being ‘the man in black’………..I thought to myself ‘Colin Vearncombe was ‘the man in Black’ also but at least he said ‘no need to run and hide’ instead of ‘come here you, you can have that red card’!! 

A fellow Liverpool fan said to me just prior to England’s 2010 World Cup campaign that if they were to win the tournament ‘we’d never hear the end of it’……….I quipped ‘we’ll never hear the end of Beethoven’s Unfinished Symphony but at least if they do win it, because Stevie G’s their captain, we might see a Red lift some silverware……….or maybe goldware in relation to Jules Rimet, ey??’!!

A friend of mine described a forty stone bloke we know as a ‘man mountain’……….I quipped ‘Ben Nevis sounds like it’s a man mountain also but at least you could walk around it without feeling the need to carry a map and compass for fear of getting lost unlike with that fat fecker’!!

Another friend of mine once described me as being a raconteur……….I quipped ‘the Spanish Inquisition was a ‘rack-on-tour’ also but at least people listen to me when I talk as opposed to being tortured for speaking out’!!

I was watching a game of football when one of the goalkeepers kept dropping the ball……….one of the lads said ‘he couldn’t catch a cold’……….I quipped ‘he couldn’t even catch a few zzzzz’s if he was a drunk insomniac hit over the head with a sledgehammer having over dosed on sleeping medication’!!

A vet once said to me ‘do you know we clean cats’……….I humorously responded ‘when the Kilkenny hurling team shower after a game, they’re ‘clean Cats’ also but I wouldn’t say you and your colleagues are the ugliest feckers to have ever graced your profession’!!

While listening to a song called ‘Funky Town’ one of my mates asked ‘who recorded that?’……….I replied ‘Lipps Inc.’……….I continued ‘when I sucked on a biro without a cap I had ‘lips ink’ also but at least it didn’t prevent me from penning more than just one piece of work that was noteworthy, did it?’!!

I learned during June 2010 that Real Madrid wanted to give Raul a ‘golden handshake’……….I thought ‘CP3O with Parkinson’s
