Ha! Juan is quite a common name among the Manx, allegedly after sailors from the spanish armada were shipwrecked on the south of the island and given protection by islanders - northerners call southerners 'Spaniards'.
Anyway, the pronunciation of the name has been corrupted to 'Dew-an'.
So initially I read that joke and thought 'But that doesn't make sense'!


Apparently there are a number of Armada stories surviving in the Isle of Man, despite there being no evidence whatever that any Spanish ships were wrecked in the Irish Sea.

Indeed, as they fled English retribution, it made far more sense for the Spanish to escape via te West of Ireland once they'd rounded the North of Scotland:

Ah the myth of the Black Irish...

Been circulated in my family, partly to explain our name, partly some members' swarthiness.

Lovely idea. I'd love it to be true.

'Another theory of the origin of the term "Black Irish" is that these people were descendants of Spanish traders who settled in Ireland and even descendants of the few Spanish sailors who were washed up on the west coast of Ireland after the disaster of the Spanish Armada of 1588.

It is claimed that the Spanish married into Irish society and created a new class of Irish who were immediately recognizable by their dark hair and complexion. There is little evidence to support this theory and it is unlikely that any significant number of Spanish soldiers would have survived long in the war-torn place that was 16th century Ireland.'

I always thought that was Manx version of Ewan rather than a Spanish thing?

Though it would fit in with an explanation I once had of "traa dy liooar", i.e. "You've heard of "mañana"? Well, it's like that, but without that terrible sense of urgency"


could well be!

Spanish Head at the very south of the island is locally thought to have been named after a sunken ship of the Armada - they certainly got scattered.

At a wine merchant, the regular taster died and the director started looking for a new one to hire.
A drunkard, with a ragged, dirty look came in to apply for the position.
The director of the winery wondered how to send him away.
He gave him a glass to drink.
The drunk tried it and said:
"It's a Muscat, three years old, grown on a north slope, matured in steel containers. Low grade but acceptable”.
"That's correct”, said the boss.
Another glass:
"It's a cabernet, eight years old, a south-western slope, oak barrels, matured at 8 degrees. Requires three more years for finest results”.
"Correct”.
A third glass:
''It's a pinot blanc champagne, high grade and exclusive”, calmly said the drunk.
The director was astonished.
He winked at his secretary, secretly suggesting something. She left the room and came back in with a glass of urine.
The alcoholic tried it.
"It's a blonde, 26 years old, three months pregnant and - if I don't get the job - I'll name the father”.

Sajid Javid was doing a scheduled annual visit to a hospital. As always, he was looking for something to beat the NHS with to show how badly run and loss making things were there.
Javid checked all the books and then did his tour. While on the tour he turned to the ward manager and said, "I notice you buy and use a lot of bandages. What do you do with the plastic middle out of the roll?" "Good question", noted the ward manager, "we save them up and send them back to Johnson and Johnson and every once in a while, they send us a free bandage roll. We like recycle whenever possible." "Oh" he said somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer. But on he went in his tour to the next ward. "What about all these coloured casts you dispense. They seem to be rather a waste of money?"
"Ah, yes", replied the ward manager realizing that Javid was trying to trap her, "we ask that any patient wishing a coloured cast donates £1 which is far in excess of the 10p the colouring actually costs". Javid was determined to fluster the ward manager. So on they went to the next ward. "Well, what do you do with all the remains from the circumcision surgeries?" "Here too we do not like wasting", said the manager.
"What we do is save all the little foreskins and send them to the government in London and about once a year, at this exact time, they send us a complete prick".

Ethel checked into a motel on her 70th birthday. She was lonely, a little depressed at her advancing age so decided to risk an adventure.
She thought I'll call one of those men you see advertised in phone books for escorts and sensual massages.
She looked through he phone book, found a full page ad for a guy calling himself Tender Tony., a very handsome man with assorted physical skills flexing in the photo.
He had all the right muscles in the right places, thick wavy hair, long powerful legs, dazzling smile, six pack, and she felt she could bounce a dime off them well oiled buns.
She figured, what the heck, no one will ever know, I'll give him a call.
" Good evening mam how can I help you?" Afraid she would lose her nerve she rushed right in, " I hear you give a great massage, I'd like you to come to my motel room and give me one."
"No, wait, should be straight with you. I'm in town all alone and all I really want is sex. I want it hot and I want it now. Bring implements, toys, everything you've got in your bag of tricks. We'll go at it all night long, tie me up, cover me in chocolate syrup and whipped cream, anything, and everything, how does that sound?"
He said, " that sounds absolutely fabulous, but you need to press 9 for an outside line."
