Is this a skydiving or a BASE joke?

[jerry81 10]

Actually, I'm not even sure it's that funny, but here it is;


Two guys are standing at the edge of a cliff. One has a budgie on each shoulder, the other one a larger parrot on one, and a shotgun on the other. After standing there and gathering courage for a couple of minutes, the first guy jumps off. His budgies immediately fly away, he himself crashes down among the rocks and the shrubs.
Lying there broken, he slowly turns himself over, just in time to see his friend jump off. About halfway down, the parrot decides to fly away, but the guy grabs his shotgun and shoots it out of the air a moment before crashing next to his friend.
As they're both lying there, the first guy says. (cough) "You know, I just don't see what this hype around budgie jumping is all about."
"Yeah," says the other guy; "I'm not really that impressed with freefall parrot shooting, either."

Parrot Shooting LOL

Good one. I thought it was mildly amusing and original.

What's wrong with it? Are you one of those New free-fall parrot shooter advocates?

Budgie is short for Budgerigar. I think they are called Parakeets in the USA.

I've heard the long version. To be done correctly it has to be told in a strong Irish accent including tell of how they go into a pet shop and get the bird in a [irish]"pepper bag"[/irish].

I seem to remember a third bird in it in the punchline but Im not sure.

Death of 3 Irishmen

Two Irishmen walk into a pet shop. Right away they go over to the bird section. Gerry says to Paddy, "Dat's dem". The clerk comes over and asks if he can help them. "Yeah, we'll take four of dem dere birds in dat cage op dere," says Gerry, "Put dem in a peeper bag." The clerk does and the two guys pay for the birds and leave the shop. They get into Gerry's van and drive until they are high up in the hills and stop at the top of a cliff with a 500-foot drop. "Dis looks loike a grand place, eh?" says Gerry. "Oh, yeh, dis looks good," replies Paddy.

They flip a coin and Gerry wins the toss. "I guess I git to go first, eh Paddy?" says Gerry. He then takes two birds out of the bag, places them on his shoulders and jumps off the cliff. Paddy watches as his mate drops off the edge and goes straight down for a few seconds followed by a 'SPLAT'. As Paddy looks over theedge of the cliff he shakes his head and says, "Fock dat, dis budgie jumpin' is too fockin' dangerous for me"

A minute later, Seamus arrives. He too has been to the pet shop and he walks up carrying the familiar 'peeper bag'. He pulls a parrot out of the bag, and then Paddy notices that, in his other hand, Seamus is carrying a gun. Hi, Paddy. Watch this," Seamus says and launches himself over the edge of the cliff. Paddy watches as half way down, Seamus takes the gun and blows the parrot's head off. Seamus continues to plummet until there is a SPLAT!, as he joins Gerry's remains at the bottom. Paddy shakes his head and says, "An' oim never troyin' dat parrotshooting nider"

A few minutes after Seamus splats himself Sean strolls up. He too has been to the pet shop and he walks up carrying the familiar 'peeper bag'. Instead of a parrot he pulls a chicken out of the bag, and launches himself of the cliff with the usual result. Once more Paddy shakes his head - "Fock me Sean, first der was Gerry wit his budgie jumping, den Seamus parrot shooting and now you blimmin' hen gliding"
