Keep smilin' and pickin' them shamrocks.

Here's to the lady up the hill. If she won't drink, I WILL!!

Here's a few things Irish for you:


As you slide down the banister of life, may the splinters never point in the wrong direction.

May the light always find you on a dreary day.
When you need to be home, may you find your way.
May you always have courage to take a chance
And never find frogs in your underpants.

An Irishman is never drunk as long as he can hold on to two blades of grass
and not fall off the face of the earth.

When we drink, we get drunk.
When we get drunk, we fall asleep.
When we fall asleep, we commit no sin.
When we commit no sin, we go to heaven.
So, let's all get drunk, and go to heaven!

Some may say the glass is half empty,
Some may say the glass is half full,
But the Irish will forever say
"Are you gonna drink that?"

Corned beef & cabbage

Contrary to popular belief, the Irish did NOT invent corned beef & cabbage. Nor did they tack it on to St. Patrick.
Corned beef was made popular in NY by the Jewish folks. (Thr brisket is kosher eats. Tough part of the cow, so it got soaked in a brine... the salt being known as "corned".. small pellets).
(Per The Food Channel & Alton Brown).

And, a toast! Here's hoping you'll be in Heaven a half

hour before the devil knows you're dead!

Have a Grand Day, one and all!

Cheers, Dears!

Irish wit and wisdom.....

My grandfathers wit and wisdom...

"A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures"

"Five frogs are sitting on a log. Four decide to jump off. How many are left? Answer: Five.
... Why? Because there's a difference between deciding and doing"

***
And the most famous Irish Blessing:
"May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you
In the palm of his hand"

Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place. Looking up to heaven he said, "Lord take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up me Irish Whiskey!"

Miraculously, a parking place appeared.

Paddy looked up again and said, "Never mind, I found one."

Another Irish toast

Health and long life to you;
a child each year to you; and
may you die in Ireland.

Re: Another Irish toast. Somehow I doubt that toast was writ

by a member of the female persuasion , a child each year. Actually I had a neighbor up in New England who said the only time she got a vacation ws when her husband took her to the hospital to bear another child, she had 12.
