Happy St Patrick’s Day. While I am Scot and Welsh, I do have a drunken
grandfather whose family came over from Ireland during the famine. Mom said
I should be thankful I lost the Irish blood in me when I had a nosebleed at
age 7.
But love the humor.
Q. What is Irish and stays out in all kinds of weather?
A. Paddy O’Furniture
Q. “Mom, I have the biggest feet of all 3rd graders! Is that because I’m
Irish?”
A. “No. It’s because you’re 17.”
Q. “Paddy, why is it that whenever you ask an Irishman a question, he
answers with another question?”
A. “Who told you that?”
Q. “Could I be trying on that dress in the window?”
A. “I’d prefer that you use the dressing room.”
Q. “Why can’t you borrow money from a leprechaun?”
A. “Because they’re always a little short”
Q. “Is that you I hear spittin’ in the vase on the mantel piece?”
A. “No, but I’m gettin’ closer all the time.”
Q. Do you know why the best astronauts were Irish?
A. Because they took up space in school for twelve years.
