Happy St Patrick's Day 2024
Every year Irish all over the world, and want to bees', celebrate with much enthusiasm the death of the patron saint of Ireland, who died on arch 17. He was rumored to have driven the snake out of Ireland, which would have not been conceivable as there were no snakes in Ireland.
As with all days of recognition, it has gotten to be highly commercialized and as my former, very Irish brothers-in-law would say each year as they stayed away from their favorite drinking spots, 'A Day for the Amateurs, much like New Years Eve.
As the day is Sunday and just maybe a few people recognizing tomorrow is a workday, there will be lots of revelry and many an adult beverage consumed, some to excess but hopefully, the fun will be remembered.
Anyway, for those that will go out to celebrate, here are a few Irish Toasts:
- God invented whiskey so the Irish wouldn't rule the world!
- I'll have what the man on the floor's having!
- May we get what we want, May we get what we need, But may we never get what we deserve. -Cedric
- Here's to the wine we love to drink, and the food we like to eat. Here's to our wives and sweethearts, let's pray they never meet. Here's champagne for our real friends And real pain for our sham friends. And when this life is over, may all of us find peace.
- In all this world, why I do think There are five reasons why we drink: Good friends, good wine, lest we be dry and any other reason why.
The adder this year is the enthusiasm the world has for the NCAA Championships, so in addition to toasting the green, many a fan will be cheering for their team to make the tournament and have a chance of a long run.
