Right you are, who needs an excuse to drink......Yesterday, my hubby, who is half Irish, made the rounds of our local stores, in search of various Irish brews...he takes great delight in finding the ones he already loves, and enjoys finding new ones...most of the time he finds these in larger stores, where long lines are routine...

However, there is one convenience store and gas station near us, where the owner for some reason, likes to stock many different premium beers, which one may not find in the usual places...now this, being a convenience store, is where folks run into for a six pack of the local swill, or a gallon of milk...most people run in and run out quickly....

But my hubby spend quite some time there, picking out lots and lots of different wonderful Irish brews...by the time he was done, they had to get a box, for him to fill up, so that he could get to the checkout line...

Now there was only one checkout line, and when they got to my husbands puchases, this was going to be quite a long production....my hubby says, he could hear the customers in line behind him, sighing and moaning....then one guy in the line shouts out to my husband, in a rather sly, but good natured way,"Are you thirsty?"

Well, that broke the tension and everyone had a good laugh, including my husband...my hubby laughed because he knew these folks may have thought he was having a St Pattys day party, and that he was stocking up for lots of folks...Truth be told, there is just him and me here, and yes, we will finish off all that brew, thank you very much....

Happy St Pattys day to one and all...good drinking to ya....
