Whos laughing now you insensitive racists?
Wanna hear the joke that got 30 Call Centre Staff sacked at British Telecom (BT)?
Two Irishmen, Paddy and Gerry, drive to the top of Connor Pass, where Gerry looks down at the 1000ft drop and says, ‘Dis looks like a grand place.’He takes two budgies out of a box, puts one on each shoulder and jumps off. Paddy watches the birds fly off and Gerry falls to the bottom, killing himself stone dead. Looking down, Paddy shakes his head and says ‘ Stuff dat, Dis budgie jumping is too dangerous for me!’
Moments later, Seamus arrives. He walks up to the edge of the cliff carrying another box and a shotgun.’Hi Paddy, watch dis,’ Seamus says. He lets a parrot out of the box, then throws himself over the edge of the cliff with the gun. Paddy watches as halfway down, Seamus takes his gun and shoots the parrot. Seamus carries on plummeting until he hits the bottom and breaks every bone. Paddy shakes his head and says ‘I’m never trying dat parrotshooting either!’
Paddy is getting over the shock when Sean appears. Sean pulls a chicken out of a sack, takes it by the legs and hurls himself off the cliff. He falls to the bottom , hits a rock and breaks a spine.
Once more Paddy shakes his head ‘ Stuff dat, lads. First dere was Gerry budgie jumping, den Seamus parrotshooting and now Sean and his hengliding.
Hmm, after this joke circulated around staff for 2 weeks, 30 employees were given the boot for passing it on. Cynics believe BT are just using the joke as an excuse to axe staff during UK’s recession without having to pay any redundancy money.Stuff dat lads, dats Cheap Skating!!
