Miraculously, a parking place appeared!

Paddy looked up again and said, "No need for you to bother now Lord, I just
found one." ;-)

bigot.

Grow up.

Hmm, let's recap. JimH tells a ridiculously not funny joke, which is
bigoted towards a certain ethnic group, and you tell ME to grow up? Now
THAT'S funny!

Nah... here's what's funny.

But the punch line was:

parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give
up me Irish Whiskey."

Why did you zero in on the alcoholism aspect? Why not Mass?
Also, in the joke, the Irishman was not drunk. Why do you assume he
was, or that he was addicted?

You, Bassy, are the bigot. And that's not funny.
