Someone from the Gyna Colleges called, they said the Pabst Beer was fine.
P.S. I thought you didn't like beer?
Pabst Beer is NOT fine!

May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
Dunno -- this one is better told than read, I fear. But here is is anyway:
Donny took ship for Amerikay when Mairead, the love of his life, threw him over and married Tom Cahill. After making his fortune, he sailed back to see what had become of the two of them and to lay down his grudge and wish them well. Coming up the road to the old village, he saw Mairead herself, sitting out in front of her cottage with a great bowl of peas she was at shelling, and looking no less beautiful for twenty years since he'd last set eyes on her.
"Lass!" he cried, "It's I who've come back from Amerikay to see how ye're keeping." And she was not unhappy to see him.
After some talk, he looked round and said "Where's himself, then?" Mairead cast her eyes down, and told him that Tom was dead these seven years. "Och!" said Donny, but it was not for sorrow that he said it. "What happened to him?"
"Whil, now," she answered, "I was at shellin' pays just as you see me now, when he came round and asked me what's for dinner. And I said chicken, and pays. Says he, it's pays tonight, and pays last night, and pays the night before. And I'll not be eating pays tonight! And I sez to him, whil, ye damned fool, there's carrots in the garden waiting on ye pulling them, and ye have not done it this long week. I will, he said, and went off in a pet up the garden path, caught his great hulking foot on the rake, split his head on a stone and died in the instant."
"Och, Mairead, ye poor lass! Whatever did ye do?"
"Whil!" she said, throwing up her hands. "I et pays!"

One can not profess to be of "GOD" and show intolerence and prejudice towards the beliefs of others.

An Irishman an Englishman and a Scot were sitting in a bar. The view was fantastic, the beer excellent, the food exceptional.
"Y'ken," said the Scotsman, "I still prefer the pubs back home. Why in Glasgow there's a wee bar called McTavish's. Now,the landlord there goes out of his way for the locals so much that when you buy 4 drinks he will buy the 5th drink for you."
"Well," said the Englishman, "At my local, the Red Lion, the barman there will buy you your 3rd drink after you buy the first 2."
"Ahhh, that's nothin," said the Irishman. "Back home in Dublin, there's Ryan's Bar. Now the moment you set foot in the place they'll buy you a drink, then another, all the drinks you like. Then when you've had enough drinks they'll take you upstairs and see that you get laid. All on the house!"
The Englishman and Scotsman immediately pour scorn on the Irishman's claims. But, the Irishman swears every word is true.
"Well," said the Englishman, "Did this actually happen to you?"
"Not me myself, personally, no," said the Irishman.
A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack.
"Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday."
Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager.
Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral.
The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.
Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office.
She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral."
She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?"
(you're gonna love this)
(its a real treat)
(a masterpiece)
(wait for it)
The bank manager looks back at her and says...
"It's a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."

I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She picked up something off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from her and I asked her not to do that.
?Why?? my daughter asked. ?Because its been laying outside, you don?t know where its been, its dirty and probably has germs? I replied.
At this point. My daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked,? Wow, How do you know all that stuff??
?Uh? I was thinking quickly, ?All Mums know thus stuff. It?s on the Mummy Test. You have to know it, or they don?t let you become a Mummy?
We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently pondering this new information.
?Oh, I get it!? she beamed ?So if you don?t pass the test you have be the daddy?
?Exactly? I replied back with a big smile on my face and joy in my heart.
After every flight, Quantas pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet," which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor.
Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas' Pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.
By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has NEVER had an accident.
P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement. S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough. S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
P: Something loose in cockpit. S: Something tightened in cockpit.
P: Dead bugs on windshield. S: Live bugs on back-order.
P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent. S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear. S: Evidence removed.
P: DME volume unbelievably loud. S: DME volume set to more believable level.
P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick. S: That's what they're for.
P: IFF inoperative. S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
P: Suspected crack in windshield. S: Suspect you're right.
P: Number 3 engine missing. S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.
P: Aircraft handles funny. S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.
P: Target radar hums. S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
P: Mouse in cockpit. S: Cat installed.
And the best one for last..................
P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer. S: Took hammer away from midget.
