Okay how's this for a segue from my last post
Who' going to be a wearing the green today?
I really miss when I lived in JAX and I used to go up to Savannah...
I believe they have the 2nd largest celebration in America

Here's a few Irish jokes (It's alright I can say them, I'm part Irish)

Q: What is the definition of an Irish queer?
A: An irishman who likes women better than whisky

1st Man: Oh hello, how are you, let me buy you a drink!
2nd Man: Why thank you." he replies. "Where are you from?
1st Man: Oh, I'm from Ireland," he replies.
2nd Man: You don't say. I'm from Ireland too! Let's have another round to Ireland.
1st Man: Of course!

And they both pour back their drinks....

2nd Man: So, where in Ireland are you from?
1st Man: Dublin," comes the reply.
2nd Man: I can't believe it says the first man. I'm from Dublin too! Let's have another drink to Dublin!
1st Man: Aye! why not!" And both men continue drinking.
2nd Man: So, like... hmmmm... What school did you go to?
1st Man: St. Mary's, I graduated in '62.
2nd Man: You don't say! This is bloody unbelievable, I went to St. Mary's and I graduated in '62, too!
1st Man: Noooo way???

About that time, in comes one of the regulars and sits down at the bar.
"What's been going on?" he asks the bartender. "Oh nothing much," replies the bartender.
"The O'Mally twins are drunk again."




Seamus walks into a bar in Dublin, orders three pints of Guinness and sits in the back of the room,
drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more.
The bartender asks him, "You know, a pint goes flat after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a time."
The Irishman replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in America, the other in Australia, and I'm here in Dublin.
When we all left home, we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days when we drank together."
The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there. The Irishman becomes a regular in the bar,
and always drinks the same way: He orders three pints and drinks them in turn.
One day, he comes in and orders two pints. All the other regulars notice and fall silent.
When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says,
"I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your great loss."
The Irishman looks confused for a moment, then a light dawns in his eye and he laughs.
"Oh, no," he says, "Everyone's fine. I've just quit drinking."


Barty was trapped in a bog and seemed a goner when Big Mick O'Reilly wandered by.
"Help!" Barty shouted, "Oi'm sinkin'!"
Don't worry," assured Mick.
"Next to the Strong Muldoon, Oi'm the strongest man in Erin, and Oi'll pull ye right out o' there."
Mick leaned out and grabbed Barty's hand and pulled and pulled to no avail.

After two more unsuccessful attempts, Mick said to Barty,
"Shure, an' Oi can't do it. The Strong Muldoon could do it alone,
mebbe, but Oi'll have to get some help."

As Mick was leaving, Barty called "Mick! Mick!
D'ye think it will help if Oi pull me feet out of the stirrups?



'Anyone who can guess how many ducks I have in this sack can have both of them,'
said Murphy. 'Three!' shouted Ranagan.
'That's closr enough,' said Murphy.


Murphy, Collins and Vella are drinking in a pub when a drunk comes in,
staggers up to them, and points at Collins, shouting,
"Your mum's the best shag in town!" and proceeds to burst into laughter...
Everyone expects a fight, but Collins gives the drunk a sligh look, ignores him,
picks up his drink and wonders off to the far end of the bar.
Ten minutes later, the drunk comes back, points at Collins again, and says,
"I just screwed your mother, and it was grand!"
Again Collins after a deep breath refuses to take the bait,
and the drunk goes back to the far end of the bar.
Ten minutes later, he comes back and announces,
"Your mum said it was the best thing since sliced bread!"
Finally Collins interrupts.
"Go home, Dad,... you're pissed!"



Seamus do you understand French?
Of course I do, when it's spoken in Irish.


"Young man," said the judge, looking sternly at the defendant.
"It's alcohol and alcohol alone that's responsible for your present sorry state!"
"I'm so glad to hear you say that," replied Murphy, with a sigh of relief...
Everybody keeps blaming me!"



An Irish man has just purchased a new chainsaw.
The man behind the counter said that it would cut down 50 trees.
Returning home the Irish man set out to use his new chainsaw.
After cutting down 40 trees he finds he is unable to cut down any more.
The Irish man is furious and returns straight back to the shop.
The shop assistant asks, "Is there a problem sir?"
The Irish man replies "Well yes, yes there is.
I purchased this chainsaw today and was told it would cut down 50 trees.
I got to 40 and it won't cut no more."
The assistant asks to take a look at the saw and he grabs hold of the starter pull.
One tug and the chainsaw bursts into life, 'vvvvv, vvvvv VVVVRRRMMM'.
The Irish mans jumps back in amazement...
"Holly Jeebies, what the ******** is all that noise!".

top o' the evening to ya, lassie!
 
I love Celtic music so I'll be listening to some Clannad, Joemy Wilson, Altan, etc.

Sadly I don't drink (never picked up the habit) so no green beer or drunken revelry for me.
 
Saint Patrick's day is not about drinking beer, it's about honoring Patrick the Saint who brought christianity to Ireland, most true Irishman/Irishwoman despise the way how Saint Patrick's day is looked upon as a day to get drunk.

I for one do not like the way it is celebrated, as a young'in, St.Patty's day meant going to church and praying, that was it.

Most Irish look on any celebration as a day to get drunk 😉
