Happy St Patrick's Day

To all those who have but a drop of the Irish - and to those who wish they did

A blessing:

May those who love us, love us; and those who don't love us, may God turn their hearts; and if He doesn't turn their hearts, may He turn their ankles so we'll know them by their limping.

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! If you're going out to celebrate, please be careful! There is no shame in calling for a cab.

Patrick O'Malley hoisted his beer and said: "Here's to spending the rest of me life between the legs of me wife!" - and he took home the top prize for the best toast of the night.


In bed later that night, he told his wife: "Mary, I won the prize for the best toast of the night." She said, "Aye, Paddy, what was your toast?"


So he told her: "Here's to spending the rest of me life sitting in church beside me wife."


"Oh," she said, "that is very nice, dear."


The next day, Mary ran into one of Paddy's drinking partners in the street. Mischievously, the man said: "Did you hear about your husband winning a prize in the pub the other night for a toast about you, Mary?"


She replied: "Aye - and I was a bit surprised. Till now, he's only been down there twice. Once he fell asleep, and the other time I had to pull him by the ears to make him come".
