...the most important thing about Valentine's Day is...



Getting ready for St Patrick's Day.
Here's a thread to add your favorite Irish toast, blessing...



My favorite:
May those who love us love us.
And those that don't love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if He doesn't turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we'll know them by their limping.

ETA: Doesn't anyone have a toast, blessing, bit of wisdom or saying from the Irish they'd like to share?
Please add it here.

5. Here's another

Here's to our wives and girlfriends:
May they never meet!

4. I'll add another

Walls for the wind,
And a roof for the rain,
And drinks beside the fire -
Laughter to cheer you
And those you love near you,
And all that your heart may desire!

[KT2000]

6. +1 -

it's always good to have a nice one to share.

7. Irish logic:

When we drink, we get drunk.
When we get drunk, we fall asleep.
When we fall asleep, we commit no sin.
When we commit no sin, we go to heaven.
So, let's all get drunk, and go to heaven!

8. May misfortune follow you the rest of your life, but never catch up.

May the winds of fortune sail you,
May you sail a gentle sea.
May it always be the other guy
who says, "this drink's on me."

9. Here's one:

Here's to those who wish us well
And all the rest
Can go to Hell.

10. As me Irish mother said of me...

...after viewing me efforts to mop the floor: "I see you're as good as half a dozen dead ones."



Just kidding and I like yours.

[redwitch]

11. LOL!

That's one I've never heard before!

12. It's not that the Irish are cynical.

It's rather that they have a wonderful lack of respect for everything and everybody.

13. A short gem of wisdom from William Butler Yeats

"The problem with some people is that when they aren't drunk, they're sober."
