Also, please be aware that green beer makes you as drunk as every other kind. In the spirit of safety, here’s a friendly reminder to take a cab home this evening. As for me, I will be in the sober comfort of my own home participating in a cleanse that forbids alcohol consumption.<\/p>\n
In appreciation of your taking my advice not to drive, here’s a joke to brighten your day:<\/p>\n
Six Irishmen were playing poker in O’Leary’s apartment when Paddy Murphy loses $500 on a single hand, clutches his chest and drops dead at the table.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Sean O’Conner looks around and asks, “Oh, me boys, someone got’s to tell Paddy’s wife. Who will it be?”\u00a0\u00a0 They draw straws. Paul Gallagher picks the short one. They tell him to be discreet and gentle; don’t make a bad situation any worse.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“Discreet??? I’m the most discreet Irishmen you’ll ever meet. Discretion is me middle name. Leave it to me.”\u00a0\u00a0 Gallagher goes over to Murphy’s house and knocks on the door. Mrs. Murphy answers and asks what he wants. Gallagher declares: “Your husband just lost $500 and is afraid to come home.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“Tell him to drop dead!”, says Murphy’s wife.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“I’ll go tell him.” says Gallagher<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
–Happy St. Patty’s Day!<\/div>\n<\/div>
