IRISH DRIVER




Paddy the famous Irishman is driving home after downing a few at the local pub. He turns a corner and much to his horror he sees a tree in the middle of the road. He swerves to avoid it and almost too late realizes that there is yet another tree directly in his path.
He swerves again and discovers that his drive home has turned into a slalom course, causing him to veer from side to side to avoid all the trees.


Moments later he hears the sound of a police siren and brings his car to a stop. The officer, approaches Paddy's car and asks him what on earth he was doing.



Paddy tells his story of the trees in the road when the officer stops him mid sentence and says,



"Fer Chris sakes, Paddy, that's yer air freshener !"

"Fun facts about St. Patrick's Day" - I heard this on Davis's 102.5:

- St. Patrick actually isn't Irish. He was a British man captured and brought to Ireland as a slave
- The color green was once considered unlucky to the Irish
- Ireland's St. Patrick's Day is actually a day to observe some religious traditions

Happy St. Paddy's Day! 14 years I've lived in the U.S., and 14 years in a row I haven't worn green today >D

Yes, St Patrick is known as the person who brought Catholicism to the Irish people. They were orginially of the Pagan belief and he converted them to Catholicism. It's the reason why the Irish use Celtic crosses, because the sun is the most revered symbol to the Pagan's, so St. Patrick incorporated the sun into a cross to have the Pagan's accept Catholicism easier. Just some fun facts for your day.

I'm here at work, listening to some Dropkick Murphy's, Flogging Molly, The Tossers and a local group Molly's Revenge.

Happy St Paddy's Day to everyone!!

Happy St. Patty's Day Everyone!

For those that are drinking tonight .... Be Safe & Be Smart! Have a Designated Driver before you start drinking. Call a friend to help you get home safe. Have money for a cab ready if you are taking a cab. If you can stay where you are then PLEASE do that. Finally if you have been drinking and need a ride, then PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE POST that you NEED a ride so that SOMEONE can come to get you and make sure you get home safe.

Remember there are going to be a LOT of cops out tonight so do NOT tempt fate.

A few more to scribble on your hand before you go out tonight...

May your glass be ever full.
May the roof over your head be always strong.
And may you be in heaven
half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.

Saint Patrick was a gentleman,
Who through strategy and stealth,
Drove all the snakes from Ireland,
Here’s a toasting to his health.
But not too many toastings
Lest you lose yourself and then
Forget the good Saint Patrick
And see all those snakes again.

An Irishman is never drunk as long as he can hold
onto one blade of grass to keep from falling off
the earth.

My friends are the best friends
Loyal, willing and able.
Now let’s get to drinking!
All glasses off the table!

Here's to women's kisses,
and to whiskey, amber clear;
Not as sweet as a woman's kiss,
but a darn sight more sincere!

May the lilt of Irish laughter
lighten every load.
May the mist of Irish magic
shorten every road...
And may all your friends remember
all the favours you are owed!

May you always have a clean shirt, a clear conscience, and enough coins in your pocket to buy a pint!

'Sláinte chuig na fir, agus go mairfidh na mná go deo.
Beannachtam na Feile Padraig!'

"Health to the men, and may the women live forever!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!"

Along those lines, did you know Christmas is the day that Santa Claus died for our sins and Easter is when the Easter bunny gave birth to Jesus in a chocolate egg. True story!

Who else is coming out drinking in North Beach tonite, holla!!

Score. I found the last pack of Guinness amidst 100 beers at *** Hill.

My friends schizophrenic alcoholic neighbor stole one from the pack in the front yard as we were doing yardwork. His last name is McCarthy lol
