May
the lilt of Irish laughter
Lighten
every load,
May
the mist of Irish magic
Shorten
every road,
May
you taste the sweetest pleasures
That
fortune ere bestowed,
And
may all your friends remember.
All
the favors you are owed. |

| So
there's a German, a Scotsman, and an Irishman at a bar after work, each
with a full pint. Three flies buzz into the bar and all of the sudden,
one lands in each of their beers.
The
german, with a disdainful look on his face, "Ach! I no drink this now!
Disgusting!"
pushes the pint away.
The
Scots, calmly," it's a-not so baad, ye jest pull 'im out, its fine lad.",
takes the fly out, takes a drink.
The
Irish, plucks the fly out by it's wings, holds it over the pint and yells,
"SPIT
IT OUT, YE BASTARD, SPIT IT OUT!"
