"What do you call a relapse of the measles? A rash arís."

"What did the polygamist call his second wife? A spare bhean."

For beginners - try guessing them yourself, but if you get stumped select between the asterisks to see an explanation:

*A rash arís = ar ais arís = "Back again".

A spare bhean = a spéirbhean = "Beautiful woman", "fair lady", literally "sky-woman" (a "goddess"?)*

If the text isn't clear enough you can also copy and paste it to a text reader or hit "Quote" to bring it up in black in the reply window (and just hit "Cancel" when you're done).
