Paddy, from Cork, was on holiday in Mojacar, Spain. He soon struck up a friendship with Paco, a local bar owner who could speak English, and spent many a happy evening evening there. One such evening he said to Paco that he enjoyed the craic in his bar.
Paco, puzzled, asked Paddy what "craic" meant. After Paddy had explained that it was an Irish Gaelic word that signified a wide range of feelings, covering humour, good company, fun and enjoyment, they decided to explain to each other various words and phrases in their respective languages.
The next evening Paco asked Paddy to tell him the equivalent Gaelic word for "mañana".
Paddy consumed two pints of Paco's ale as he pondered the translation, before finally conceding that nowhere in the Irish language could he think of a word that conveyed such a high degree of urgency.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Paddy (the very same one) was in New York. He was patiently waiting, and watching the traffic cop on a busy street crossing. The cop stopped the flow of traffic and shouted, "Okay pedestrians". Then he'd allow the traffic to pass. He'd done this several times, and Paddy still stood on the sidewalk. After the cop had shouted "Pedestrians" for the tenth time, Paddy went over to him and said, "Is it not about time ye let the Catholics across?"

And then had another pint or four to mull over his response's veracity?
