It's St Patrick's Day !

The only Irish I have in me is a regular intake of Jameson's. I hope that counts.

I'm neither Irish nor part Irish. I am 100% Canadian. I do have ancestors that were Irish, but that was a few to several generations back. No one in my ancestry was Catholic after the 1600s. My family never did celebrate March 17th. July 12th however, is a different story.

I am mainly English and Dutch, but I guess my red beard came from my great great grandmother Hennisey.

That's okay because shamrocks are soft.

Walk into any bar in South Boston tomorrow; you're Irish.

Get carried out of any bar in South Boston; you are definately IRISH.

The Irish rovers are actually CANADIAN!
They have been around for a long time.

While on vacation in Rome , I noticed a marble column in St. Peter's with a golden telephone on it. As a young priest passed by, I asked who the telephone was for. The priest told me it was a direct line to heaven, and if I'd like to call, it would be a thousand dollars. I was amazed, but declined the offer.

Throughout Italy , I kept seeing the same golden telephone on a marble column. At each, I asked about it and the answer was always the same: It was a direct line to heaven and I could call for a thousand dollars.

Then -
I finished my tour in Ireland .. I decided to attend Mass at a local village church. When I walked in the door I noticed the golden telephone. Underneath it there was a sign stating: "DIRECT LINE TO HEAVEN: 25 cents." "Father," I said, "I have been all over Italy and in all the cathedrals I visited, I've seen telephones exactly like this one. But the price is always a thousand dollars. Why is it that this one is only 25 cents?"

The priest smiled and said, ?Darlin', you're in Ireland now. It's a local call."
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

An Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irishman are all in a bar ordering a pint of beer. The Englishmans beer arrives with a fly in it. He refuses the drink and sends it back. The Scotsmans beer arrives with a fly in it and he just plucks it out and discards the fly. The Irishmans beer arrives with a fly in it. The Irishman picks out the fly, squeezes it and shouts, "Spit it out ye wee bastard!"

I've been in many a bar in Southie. I've been carried out of a bar in Southie. I've been in a fight over "the troubles" in a bar in Southie. And I've helped throw a guy out who had the nerve to ask for Bushmills.
