Patty was on his deathbed and they called the priest. On arrival he says to Patty, "Patty the Drs. tell me that things are not looking so good for you, would you like the last rights? Aye, father Patty weakly retorts. Well then Patty do you accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior?. Aye, father I do. And do you renounce the devil?" There is silence. "Patty, did you hear me? Aye father", he again weakly replies. "Well then, do you renounce the devil?" Again a no response. "Patty, I say do you renounce the devil? Speaking loudly in a commanding voice. A brief pause, then Patty replies, "well father, the way I sees it I am in no position to be antagonizing anyone."

With the financial system crumbling like a sand castle at the beach, this would be a mighty good day to sit in an Irish pub and drink the afternoon way with such music as you have provided. Problem is you would need a barrel of dollars to buy a pint. We all can be grateful that the free market worshipers in the Republican party have been minding the financial market store over the last seven years. Whoopee!

Thanks Virg for the lift.

If we're gonna tip a few in an Irish pub, let's remember to have one in honor of Lamar, one of the best men ever. Wudda been his birthday today. Died too soon. Touched many lives. Knew who he was, encouraged others to be their best. Oh, to be like him....

Lamar Davis was a modern day St. Patrick. He brought manya heathen into the fold. Happy Birthday belatedly Lamar.

Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place. Looking up to heaven he said, "Lord take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up me Irish Whiskey!"
Miraculously, a parking place appeared.
Paddy looked up again and said, "Never mind, I found one."

Father Murphy walks into a pub in Donegal, and says to the first man he meets, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
The man said, "I do, Father."
The priest said, "Then stand over there against the wall."
Then the priest asked the second man, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
"Certainly, Father," was the man's reply.
"Then stand over there against the wall," said the priest.
Then Father Murphy walked up to O'Toole and said, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
O'Toole said, "No, I don't Father."
The priest said, "I don't believe this. You mean to tell me that when you die you don't want to go to heaven?"
O'Toole said, "Oh, when I die, yes. I thought you were getting a group together to go right now."

Paddy was in New York.
He was patiently waiting and watching the traffic cop on a busy street crossing. The cop stopped the flow of traffic and shouted, "Okay, pedestrians." Then he allows the traffic to pass.
He'd done this several times, and Paddy still stood on the sidewalk.
After the cop had shouted, "Pedestrians!" for the tenth time, Paddy went over to him and said, "Is it not about time ye let the Catholics across?"

Gallagher opened the morning newspaper and was dumbfounded to read in the obituary column that he had died. He quickly phoned his best friend, Finney.
"Did you see the paper?" asked Gallagher. "They say I died!!"
"Yes, I saw it!" replied Finney. "Where are ye callin' from?"

Walking into the bar, Mike said to Charlie the bartender, "Pour me a stiff one - just had another fight with the little woman."
"Oh yeah?" said Charlie, "And how did this one end?"
"When it was over," Mike replied, "She came to me on her hands and knees.
"Really," said Charles, "Now that's a switch! What did she say?"
She said, "Come out from under the bed, you little chicken."
