Paddy Got Married

It was high time that Paddy got married.

So, his parents called a marriage broker in Dublin and ask him to find a good wife for their son: The broker comes over to their house and spends a long time asking questions about Paddy and his parents as to what they want in a wife/daughter-in-law.

They give him a long list of requirements.

The marriage broker takes a long time looking here, there and everywhere and finally visits the family again with a prospective bride proposal.

He then tells them of a wonderful woman he has found.

He says: “She’s just the right age for your son. She keeps a neat home, she is a good Catholic and knows the prayers by heart.

She is a wonderful cook, she loves children, wants a large family and to crown it all, she’s gorgeous.”

After hearing all this, the family is very impressed and begins to get excited about the prospects of a wedding in the near future.

But Paddy still has some lingering doubts and asks casually:  “Is she also good.

The marriage broker answers:“Well, some say yes and some say no.”
