Sean O'Reilly was sittin at the bar at Houlihan's Pub after work one evening. He hoisted his pint of Guinness and said, "Here's to spending the rest of me life, between the legs of me wife !" With that, the bartender gave him the top prize at the pub for the best toast of the night ! He went home and told his wife, "Mary, I won the prize for the best toast of the night at Houlihan's with a toast about ye." Mary said, "Aye, did ye now, Sean. And what was your toast?" Sean said, "Here's to spending the rest of me life sitting in church with me wife." "Oh, that's very nice indeed, Sean!" Mary said. The next day, Mary was in town shopping and ran into, Shamus McGillicudy, one of John's drinking buddies. Shamus was at Houihan's the night before.. Shamus looked at Mary with a smirk and said "Sean won the toast of the night prize last night at Houlihan's with a toast about ye, Mary." She said, "Aye, Shamus, so I heard. I was a little bit surprised. He's only been in there twice in the last five years. "One time he fell asleep and the other time I had to drag him by the ears to get him to come."

 

I’m reminded of the joke that got me banned from the Vintage Forum.

 

When was this? What was the joke? (PM me if needed.)

What's 18 miles long, green, and has one million assholes?



The New York St. Patrick's Day Parade.

 

It was a 4-5 years ago , and I retold the joke I had heard on the Howard Stern show.

 

I take it you're not going to repeat it.

 

Too Funny, feisty old broad lol. Nice one Gina.

Growing up in an Italian household I never knew very much about St. Patricks, I never went to any of the festivities or ate any of the food related to that. I do like corned beef , and I like cabbage for the most part.

I have recently purchased a St. Patricks T-shirt from Old Navy as I have always liked the shamrock design (heck even Alfa Romeo uses it )

My son's name is Patrick. My father's name was Pasquale, and he worked with some Irish folk when he got off the boat here in 1950. Everyone called him Paddy his entire life in Canada oddly enough, as it was easier to pronounce and spell compared to Pasquale. My father even referred to himself as Paddy in his business operations his whole life. When I hear of St. Patricks day today, I think of my father in an odd sort of way, my old man Paddy ! RIP
