Happy St. Patrick's Day


I am married to an Irishman. The holiday seems to be centered around going to mass in the morning and partying the rest of the day. I don't care for the drinking and the vulgarity that they seem to enjoy. I love his family. Unfortunately some of them drink too much. Despite this I felt comfortable with them from the first time I met them. I've heard some people say they don't like the Irish. I want to say that most of the Irish people I've met were very nice people. Paul has a very large family and we keep meeting new relatives and there are more we haven't met yet. So here's to the Irish!

A Kerryman was playing Trivial Pursuit. It was his turn. He rolled the dice and landed on "Science & Nature." His question was, "If you are in a vacuum and someone calls your name, can you hear it?" He thought for a time and then asked, "Is it on or off?"
