Top Of The Day To You!
 On St. Patrick's Day everyone claims
to be Irish. The Irish in the United States put on a noisier and bigger St. Patrick's Day celebration
than the people in Ireland. Every year on March 17 or the preceding
Saturday, cities with a large population of Irish Americans have parades
. Green is one of the
national colors of Ireland and also one of the
signs of spring. In Chicago the Illinois river is dyed green as are rivers in other sities. In Wisconsin New London is called New Dublin for a week. Green stripes are painted on the streets where the
parade will travel. People wear green shirts, ties, hair ribbons and
hats, and many bars serve green beer.
"May the luck of the Irish possess you.
May the Devil fly off with
your worries.
May God bless you forever and ever."
"Why did God invent whiskey?
So the Irish would never rule the world."

"T'was the Irish what invented the pipes, you know,
and they gave
them to the Scots as a joke.
And you Scots have'nt gotten the joke
yet!!"
"It has been said the an Englishman thinks and speaks.
A Scot thinks
twice before he speaks,
and an Irishman speaks before he thinks."
Might he have been at the pub tossing down a "Guinness" or two?
An Irishman who had a little to much to drink is driving home from
the city one night and, of course, his car is weaving violently all
over the road. A cop pulls him over.
"So," says the cop to the driver, "where have you been?"
"Why, I've been to the pub of course" slurs the drunk. "Did you know,"
says the cop, standing straight and folding his arms
across his chest, "that a few intersections back, your wife fell out
of your car?"
"Oh, thank heavens," sighs the drunk. "For a minute there,
I thought I'd gone deaf."
~ Irish Wishes ~
May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold more that a coin or two.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
"May you be in heaven half an hour
before the Devil knows you are dead."
