Happy St. Patrick's Day

Post by Bob K »

This old Russian would like to wish all his Irish friends here & elsewhere, here and gone, a wonderful St. Patrick's day.

Bought the occasional bottle of Jameson's today, for a proper toast.

Erin go Bragh!!

Slainte.

Chris,

What can I say ... in Judaism the day begins at sunset.

I wish you all the best.

Thanks, Bob! Sláinte.

Here's wishing everyone a great day on Tuesday. I'm looking forward to seeing Paddy's Day in the USA... there's certainly a lot of green stuff in the shops around Austin :-)

Hey, are jokes allowed on this thread?

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".

My mom sent me to school in an orange shit for Saint Patricks Day once since my family is decedent from the Protestant Irish rather than the more common Catholic variety. Of course she failed to adequately explain the meaning of the orange. Luckily this was in California so no one really noticed or cared, though I get the feeling she would have done the same had we lived in Boston.
