Lá fhéile Pádraig sona dhuit
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
I can't believe you folks missed this. My favorite Irish blessing: May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

I've just found out recently that I'm an Irish Catholic and missed my first ever Saint Patricks day'. Darn.

On Saint Patrick's day a rich American of Irish descent walked into a Dublin bar and said "I hear you Irish people are big drinkers. Here's a thousand pounds on the bar for anyone who can drink 10 pints of Guinness in three minutes." The place went quiet and Paddy slipped out the door. A few minutes latter Paddy appeared and said "I'll take you up on that challenge." Rich American said "Sure, but where did you go for a few minutes?" Paddy replied "I went to the other pub to test if I could drink 10 pints in three minutes."

An older Irish ex-pat just having moved to New York shows up at his local pub and orders two pints of Guinness. The bartender brings him just one, and he objects. The bartender tells him he will bring the second when he finishes the first.
"No, you see, sir, I must have both at once. I left me dear brother Sean back in Dublin and upon our parting, we resolved to share a pint in each other's absence. So, one is 'is, one is mine. I'll drink them both together." This goes on for years as he becomes a regular and everyone gets to know him. Then one day he only orders one pint. The place goes silent, as everyone fears the worst. No one knows what to say. Finally, the bartender says "Patrick, we are all so sorry about your brother..." Patrick appears puzzled for a moment, then realizes what they all must be thinking. So he reassures them, "oh, no, praise be to Mary, me brother is jus' fine. It's me doctor - he told me I have to stop drinkin'...".

An Irishman walks into a bar in Toronto and orders a drink. The bartender, noticing his accent, asks "What brings you to Canada? The Irishman says "Well, I was in a pub in Dublin and the coaster under my glass said 'Drink Canada Dry', so I thought I'd give it a try.
What did Jesus say to the Irish from the cross? "Don''t do anything until I get back." (not everyone gets this) And my favorite Irish blessing: "Lord, may those who love us, love us. And Lord, for those who don't love us, may you turn their hearts. And Lord, if their hearts are not turned, then may you turn their ankles, so that we might know them by their limping."

Trivia:
St. Patrick was never officially canonized by a pope, he was of Roman decent and his father was a tax collector. He is credited by some as ridding Ireland of snakes but that is just a myth. Post-glacial Ireland never had snakes. What he deserves credit for is bringing Christianity to a Pagan society in what is now Ireland. |
