Paddy was tooling along the road one fine day when the local policeman, a friend of his, pulled him over.
"What's wrong, Seamus?" Paddy asked.
"Well didn't ya know, Paddy, that your wife fell out of the car about five miles back?" said Seamus.
"Ah, praise the Almighty!" Paddy replied with relief. "I thought I'd gone deaf!"
You have to sympathise with poor browbeaten Paddy! Very good joke.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering.... why do we make such a fuss of St Patrick's Day? Green beer and all that.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't we celebrate St David's Day (March 1, Patron Saint of Wales), or St Andrew's Day (November 30, Patron Saint of Scotland) or St George's Day (April 23, Patron Saint of England)?
Why should the Irish saint get all the glory?
Happy St Patrick's Day Mam!
ReplyDeleteDabrah and Peggy: thanks...happy st. patty's day to you, too
ReplyDeleteex-shammy: what's stopping the Welsh, the Scots, and the Brits? the czechoslovakians have a huge blowout on st joseph's day in cedar rapids, IA, with red beer and the works. the welsh in iowa city even make a stir on st. david's day...leeks and all that. but of course, st. patrick is very special...he DID drive the norwegians out of ireland!! ya gotta love somebody like that. Who did St. David, St. Andrew, & St. George ever drive out? The Irish?
Also, they need better songs if they want to keep up with the micks!!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!! Corned beef in the crockpot as I type.
