What’s an Irishman to do? On a bitterly cold winter morning, Paddy and his wife in Dublin were listening
to the radio during breakfast. They heard the announcer say, "We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow today. You
must park your car on the even-numbered side of the street, so the snow ploughs can get through".
So Paddy went out and moved his car.
A week later, while they are eating breakfast again, the radio announcer said, "We are expecting 10 to 12 inches
of snow today. You must park your car on the odd-numbered side of the street, so the snow ploughs can get
through".
The good man went out in the bitter cold and moved his car again.
The next week, they are again having breakfast, when the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 12 to 14 inches
of snow today. You must park...." Then the power went out. (See, it happens there too.)
Paddy was very upset, and with a worried look on his face said to his wife: "I don't know what to do. Which
side of the street do I need to park on so the snow ploughs can get through?"
Then with the love and understanding in her voice that all married women exhibit, she replied:
"Why don't you just leave the car in the garage this time?"
