Only Irish coffee provides in a single glass all four essential food groups: alcohol, caffeine, sugar, and fat.

An Irishman is NEVER drunk, so long as he can reach down, grab a blade of grass, and not fall off the face of the Earth.

My Irish uncle drowned when he fell into a vat of whiskey. We tried to save him, but he resisted valiantly.

An Irishman always ends a letter with: "I would have enclosed a five-pound note, but I'd already sealed the envelope."

I heard a song performed yesterday, but cannot find the lyrics. It was a classic, hysterical song. The title is "Stick to the ____" - where the blank is a word that I can't spell, but phonetically sounds like Cri-ther (long I)

The last verse includes the following line: "...there's nothing like whiskey to make maidens frisky..." and the refrain goes like this: "so stick to the [Cryther], the best thing in nature, for drowning your sorrows and rasing your joys..."

If you or anyone lurking has ever heard the song I'd appreciate some more information so I can find the lyrics on the net....thanks.

A few quotes from one of my favorite Irishmen...

"Republicans believe every day is 4th of July, but Democrats believe every day is April 15."

"Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born."

"I used to say that politics is the second oldest profession, and I have come to know that it bears a gross similarity to the first."

May God in His wisdom
And infinite love
Look down on you always,
From Heaven above.
May He send you good fortune,
Contentment and peace.
And may all your blessings
Forever increase.

HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY to all.

Irish toast:

May you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're gone...

He knows nothing; and he thinks he knows everything. That points clearly to a political career. - George Bernard Shaw

Boy did a lot of people come to mind.

So let me see if I have this right. St. Patrick's Day is a holiday for a man who was not named Patrick, who was not born in Ireland, who did not drive the snakes out of Ireland, who did not bring Catholicism to Ireland, and who was not born on March 17th. Does it have a purpose other than an excuse for excessive drinking?

Here’s to temperance supper,
With water in glasses tall,
And coffee and tea to end with— And me not there at all!

An Irishman is never drunk as long as He can hold onto one blade of grass and not Fall off the face of the earth.

There are only two kinds of people in the world, The Irish And those who wish they were.

An Irishman's Philosophy:
There are only two things to worry about:
Either you are well or you are sick.
If you are well, then there is nothing to worry about.

But if you are sick, there are two things to worry about:
Either you will get well or you will die.
If you get well, then there is nothing to worry about.

But if you die, there are two things to worry about:
Either you will go to heaven or you will go to hell.
If you go to heaven, then you have nothing to worry about.

But if you go to hell, you'll be so damn busy shaking hands
with all your friends, then you won't have time to worry!

"Patrick was a hard-bitten man who did not find his life's purpose till his life was half over. He had a temper that could flare dangerously when he perceived an injustice -- not against himself but against another, particularly against someone defenseless. But he had the cheerfulness and good humor that humble people often have. He enjoyed this world and its variety of human beings -- and he didn't take himself too seriously. He was, in spirit, an Irishman."
-- Thomas Cahill, How the Irish Saved Civilization
