Here in Chicago they dyed our river green this past weekend. Reminds me of that line from “The Fugitive” where the cop says “Why can’t they dye it blue the other 364 days of the year?”. I’m a little too busy to partake in the festivities this year but here’s one of my favorite Irish jokes…
A man stumbles up to the only other patron in a bar and asks if he can buy him a drink.
“Why of course,” comes the reply.
The first man then asks: “Where are you from?”
“I’m from Ireland,” replies the second man.
The first man responds: “You don’t say, I’m from Ireland too! Let’s have another round to Ireland.”
“Of Course,” replies the second man.
Curious, the first man then asks: “Where in Ireland are you from?”
“Dublin,” comes the reply.
“I can’t believe it,” says the first man.
“I’m from Dublin too! Let’s have another drink to Dublin.”
“Of course,” replies the second man.
Curiosity again strikes and the first man asks:
“What school did you go to?”
“Saint Mary’s,” replies the second man.
“I graduated in ’62.”
“This is unbelievable!” the first man says.
“I went to Saint Mary’s and I graduated in ’62, too!”
About that time in comes one of the regulars who sits down at the bar.
“What’s been going on?” he asks the bartender.
“Nothing much,” replies the bartender. “The O’Malley twins are drunk again.”
Have fun and be safe everyone. We’ll see you next week. =-)
