Happy Saint Patrick's Day - 03/17/11 04:00 AM
I hope you all enjoy the day. Now recently Muhammed Ali discovered that his great grandfather was from Ireland. You too may have Celtic blood flowing in your veins and not even know it. So, with apologies to Jeff Foxworthy, I put out this test to help you determine if you might be Irish.
You just might be Irish if:
Some of the greatest times of your life take place at funerals;
You have more siblings than fingers and have multiple cousins named Pat, Mike and Mary Margaret;
In school you have to write a paper on your hero, and you select the Virgin Mary;
You can be in a bloody fist fight with a man and ten minutes later be drinking a beer with him arm-in-arm;
You write "Irishcatholicdemocrat" as one word;
You can refer to centuries of oppression and starvation as the good old days;
You believe that William Shakespeare was from County Mayo;
You cram as many words possibleinto each sentence you utter;
You're pulled over by a policeman after drinking the night away, and when you are asked if you had been drinking, you reply, "You're god damned right, sonny.";
You hope that some day the American government finds that Protestant bastard, who built that narrow bridge that Ted Kennedy missed when taking that young girl home from midnight mass;
At the drop of a hat you can offer a persuasive argument as to why your mother should be canonized...in iambic pentameter;
You realize that all floods, fires and hurricanes and world problems are caused by the English;
Your grandmother has a picture of John Kennedy hanging next to Jesus;
You spend your Wednesday night poking fun at your heritage and wishing the people of the greatest internet board in cyber space a Happy St Patty's Day!
