Buy a man a plane ticket and he'll fly for a day. Push a man from a plane and he'll fly for the rest of his life.

Wife: "Darling Let's Enjoy our Saturday and Sunday"!
Me: "Good Idea!, Let's meet on Monday....!"

The last time I went to a public pool, I peed in the deep end and the lifeguard noticed. Bastard blew his whistle so loud, I almost fell in.

The most southern tip of the contiguous 48 states decided to have pie contest, but the Irish objected to it's flavor.

The "key" to humor is to know your audience. 

Some may accuse me of lacking a "Conch-ousness". 

But how can you get mad at a fan of "Flipper"?

To quote Dan Marino, " I get hit on my head a lot".

Yeah, you're going to have to help me out with the Irish connection.

I'm really confused by this post.

For one thing, I don't know if all these sentences are supposed to be understood together or separately.

Oh boy, the most southern tip of the inland 48 is Key West Florida. It is also known for it's "Key Lime Pie"  and "Limey" has been slang for Irish, and Conch (sea snail) is the official "horn shell" or "flag" of Key West. Flipper was a famous TV show in the 60s about a dolphin who behaved more like a trained dog than a dolphin. Dan Marino was Miami  Dolphin's  Quarterback, and even today, at that position, you are likely to get your ass drilled into the ground and hit your head on the ground. And Dan Marino stared in "Ace Ventura Pet Detective" played himself as a kidnapped Quarterback at the same time their mascot in the movie a dolphin was kidnapped as well, and at the end of the movie the bad guy/ Einhorn threatened to kill both Dan and Ace, and one of his responses was "I get hit in the head a lot".

‘Limey’ is a slang term for the English, not the Irish. This matters a lot. If Ireland is ever unlucky enough to have you visit, walk into a local pub and ask, ‘How’re all you limeys tonight?’

Just be sure to notify your next of kin first.

I had no idea a specialty of Key West was Bog Trottiing Pie......
