Just Because it’s Saint Patrick’s Day
Posted on 17 March 2008, at 11:05 am, by Judie Lipsett
I am one-quarter Irish, in case you didn’t know. I mean, come-on – with a name like Lipsett, what else would I be?
For fun, and since today is Saint Patrick’s Day, I am going to post a joke that Don Kobes sent me this morning. If you have a better one, leave it in the comments. 
Two men were sitting next to each other at Murphy’s Pub. After awhile, one guy looks at the other and says, “I can’t help but think, from listening to you, that you’re from Ireland .”
The other guy responds proudly, “Yes, that I am!”
The first guy says, “So am I! And where about from Ireland might you be?”
The other guy answers, “I’m from Dublin , I am.”
The first guy responds, “So am I!”
“Mother Mary and begora. And what street did you live on in Dublin ?”
The other guy says, “A lovely little area it was. I lived on McCleary Street in the old central part of town.”
The first guy says, “Faith and it’s a small world. So did I! So did I! And to what school would you have been going?”
The other guy answers, “Well now, I went to St. Mary’s, of course.”
The first guy gets really excited and says, “And so did I. Tell me, what year did you graduate?”
The other guy answers, “Well, now, let’s see. I graduated in 1964.”
The first guy exclaims, “The Good Lord must be smiling down upon us! I can hardly believe our good luck at winding up in the same bar tonight. Can you believe it, I graduated from St. Mary’s in 1964 me own self!”
About this time, Vicky walks into the bar, sits down and orders a beer.
Brian, the bartender, walks over to Vicky, shaking his head and mutters, “It’s going to be a long night tonight.”
Vicky asks, “Why do you say that, Brian?”
“The Murphy twins are drunk again.”

ha!
I didn’t wear green today. My excuse is that I am Irish….at least part Irish!
McLaughlin is a good Irish name.
I am Irish, German and English otherwise known as a MUTT!

I always cop out and say I have green eyes, so I don’t have to wear green.
I am a Mutt, too – my dad’s side was pretty clear cut, but my mom’s is from all over Europe and the UK.

It’s not that I don’t have any green….it’s just I didn’t pull it out of the closet.
I LOVE green. It’s like my favorite color.

Hi Judie
My first time to comment here having been a lurker for a while.
I am all Irish and I wore no green nor drunk no green beer today.
But I love the joke.

Nice joke! Quite a good laugh!
And green has been my fav colour ever since I was a kid. Now I pretty much like all colors

OK, here goes:
Three Irishmen in a bar.
The first says: “Aye, this is a nice bar, but where I come from, there’s a better one. At MacDougal’s, you buy a drink, you buy another drink, and MacDougal himself will buy your third drink!”
The second then starts: “That sounds like a nice bar, but where I come from, there’s a better one called Quinns. At Quinns, you buy a drink, Quinn buys you a drink. You buy another drink, Quinn buys you another drink.”
Then the third pipes up. “You think that’s good? Where I come from, there’s this place called Murphy’s. At Murphy’s, they buy you your first drink, they buy you your second drink, they buy you your third drink, and then, they take you in the back and get you laid!”
“Wow!” say the other two. “That sounds fantastic! Did that actually happen to you?” “No,” replies their friend, “but it happened to my sister!”
(predominantly scots-irish with a bit of everything – in other words, a typical Southerner
)
