It's The Day For Little GREEN Men!
March 17th 2007 00:25
Well...sort of, it's St Patricks Day, a day full of Guiness, shamrocks and all things green.
March the 17th commemorates the death of St Patrick. That's right, the Irish do so love their wakes!
St Patrick died on March the 17th, 461 AD.
Legend has it that St Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland. It is also believed that he used the three leaves of the Shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity.
Some examples of Irish humour:
1 - Siobhan followed her husband to the public house, 'How can you come here', she said, taking a sip of his pint of Guinness, 'and drink that awful stuff?'
'Now!' he cried, 'And you always thought I was out enjoying meself.'
2 - Seamus walked into a bar and ordered martini after martini, each time removing the olives and placing them in a jar.
When the jar was filled with olives and all the drinks consumed, the Irishman started to leave. "S'cuse me," said a customer, who was puzzled over what Seamus had done. "What was that all about?"
"Nothing," said Seamus, "my wife just sent me out for a jar of olives."
3 - What's Irish and stays out all night?

Firstly, VB is in green cans ... so I'm not putting any food colouring in my beers today ...
An Irish guy walks into a pub and orders three beers every day. The barman gets curious. 'Why do you always order three beers?' 'Well,' he says, 'My brothers and I made a pact that if we ever got separated, until the day one of us died, we would always have a drink for each other, wherever we are, and one for ourselves of course.' One day the Irish guys comes in looking really downcast and only orders two drinks. The barman says, 'Did one of your brothers die?' He says, 'Na, my wife made me give up the drink.'
