Irish wisdom
email from friend | 2/16/2021 | unknown

In Ireland, the 99-year-old Mother Superior lay quietly. She was dying.

The Nuns had gathered around her bed, laying garlands around her and trying to make her last journey comfortable.

They wanted to give her warm milk to drink but she declined. One of the nuns took the glass back to the kitchen.

Then, remembering a bottle of Irish Whiskey that had been received as a gift the previous Christmas, she opened it and poured a generous amount into the warm milk.

Back at Mother Superior's bed, they lifted her head gently and held the glass to her lips.

The very frail Nun drank a little, then a little more and before they knew it, she had finished the whole glass down to the last drop.

As her eyes brightened, the nuns thought it would be a good opportunity to have one last talk with their spiritual leader..

"Mother," the nuns asked earnestly, "Please give us some of your wisdom before you leave us."

She raised herself up very slowly in the bed on one elbow, looked at them and said: "DON'T SELL THAT COW."

A variation of the same joke was told by Gene Hackman in “Bonnie and Clyde.”

Paddy is headed into the local to meet up with his mates, when he is accosted by a nun who warns him against the evil of demon liquor.

“Well, sister, have you ever tasted a fine Irish Whiskey, then?”

The nun admitted she had not.

“Well then, let me give you a little taste.”

“Alright, but the mother superior would not approve. Can ya bring it out here in a teacup?”

“Certainly, sister.”

So Paddy goes into the bar and orders two whiskeys, but makes an usual request. He asks the barman, “Kinna ya put one a’ ‘em in teacup, if ya please.”

The barman's face turns red as he exclaims, “Is that nun out there agin?”

I lost my tagline a couple weeks ago. It reverted to my old one.

“A hearin’ aid? What’s that got do with it, are you daft, child?”

“Well , ya know I’m hard of hearin, right? So every night me husband asks me, ‘do ya wanna go to sleep, or what?’”

Do you know what a traditional Irish 7-course dinner includes?

A 6-pack of Guinness and a potato.

Good one - thanks...

While you’re puzzling over your tagline, look into why my posts have () after my screen name. Have no idea how to get them GONE - I didn’t put them there - except by accident?

"why my posts have () after my screen name."

When you post a reply, there is a tagline field below where you type the reply text. If you leave the tagline blank, then you will have nothing after your name when you post.

If, however, you accidentally left a space character in that field, then you will get what you see after your name.

Thanks - is there a way to get rid of it? No big deal but curious as to why - now that explains it.
