What's Irish and stays out all night? Patty O'Furniture ***** Why do people wear shamrocks on St. Patrick's Day? Real rocks are too heavy. ***** What do you get when you cross poison ivy with a four-leaf clover? A rash of good luck! (One of my favorite things to do on St. Paddy's day is to wear an orange shamrock and see who gets it. Luckily, nobody has given it to me yet. I tell them to read some Irish history. Does anybody know if the song "The Orange and the Green" by the Irish Rovers is PD?)

Coincidentally (to another thread currently posted), in my opinion "The Orange and The Green" is probably a parody of at least one rebel song in the public domain. The songs are "The Wearing of The Green" and "The Rising of The Moon" It is not unusual for some wag in Ireland to poke a bit of musical fun, at a person, political viewpoint, religious bigotry or just life in general. I can find no evidence of anyone claiming copyright. If I am right, the song would be Trad Arr or PD as it is part of a living, evolving tradition. Certainly the tune is. Check out http://sniff.numachi.com/~rickheit/dtrad/pages/tiORANGREN;ttWEARGREN.html How many Irish sons does it take to change a light bulb? None. "Don't worry about me son, I'll just sit in the dark. We are doing a session in Reilly's pub, London on Paddy's Day, and hope to upload the result. Regarding your orange shamrock Brad, a couple ofyears ago I revisited Derry, where I had lived in the early '90s. The had Union Jacks (British flags) everywhere, but instead of Red White & Blue they were Green, White & Orange (colours of the Irish flag) Last edited on Fri Mar 3rd, 2006 12:21 pm by gerry mcgandy ____________________ Gerry McGandy http://mp3mart.net http://ezfolk.com/audio/bands/556/ |

An Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irishman were without tickets for the opening ceremonies of the summer Olympics but hoped to be able to talk their way in at the gate. Security was very tight, however, and each of their attempts was met with a stern refusal. While wandering around outside the stadium, the Englishman came upon construction site, which gave him an idea. Grabbing a length of scaffolding, he presented himself at the gate and said, "Johnson, the pole vault," and was admitted. The Scotsman, overhearing this, went at once to search the site. When he came up with a sledge hammer, he presented himself at the gate and said, "McTavish, the hammer." He was also admitted. The Irishman combed the site for an hour and was nearly ready to give up when he spotted his ticket in. Seizing a roll of barbed wire, he presented himself at the gate and announced, "O'Sullivan, fencing." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A boasting American said to O'Connor, back in the States we can erect a block of skyscrapers in about 2 weeks. O'Conner replied, we can start a row of houses in the morning and on the way home from work the bailiffs will be putting the tenants out for being behind with the rent.

It's late on the 17th , and Joe + Pat have been at it all day are the last 2 in the bar . At the far end of the bar is a mirror , Joe looks down and is amazed. He says to Pat " Pat there's 2 fellows at the end of the bar who look just like us " Pat says " don't pay them no mind they must be without friends " Joe says " well seeing as we are alone I'm going to go over and say hello " and starts to get up off his stool . Pat grabs him and says "sit down one of them is coming over " Yeah it's bad , but much better live .

Why does it take five Irishmen to change a lightbulb? One to change the bulb. Four to remark about how grand the old bulb was.

An Irish man walks into a pub. The bartender asks him, "what'll you have?" The man says, "Give me three pints of Guinness please." So the bartender brings him three pints and the man proceeds to alternately sip one, then the other, then the third until they're gone. He then orders three more. The bartender says, "Sir, I know you like them cold. You don't have to order three at a time. I can keep an eye on it and when you get low I'll bring you a fresh cold one." The man says, "You don't understand. I have two brothers, one in Australia and one in the States. We made a vow to each other that every Saturday night we'd still drink together. So right now, my brothers have three Guinness Stouts too, and we're drinking together. The bartender thought that was a wonderful tradition. Every week the man came in and ordered three beers. Then one week he came in and ordered only two. He drank them and then ordered two more. The bartender said to him, "I know what your tradition is, and I'd just like to say that I'm sorry that one of your brothers died." The man said, "Oh, me brothers are fine----I just quit drinking."

Paddy walks into a pub. The bartender asks him, " what'll you have?" Paddy says, "Give me three pints of Guinness." So the bartender brings him three pints and the man proceeds to have a sip from the first one, skips over the next one and sips from the third. He carries on like this til the first and third pints are drained. He then orders three more. The bartender says, "What are ye at, wasting good stout ?!" Paddy says, " I only drink the odd pint."
