THE LEPRECHAUN

I caught a little leprechaun, quite wise and very old and he said to me, “You have one wish, would you like my pot of gold?”

“No thank you,” was my quick reply, “But how about another... A gift that's truly precious and esteemed above all others?”

He offered then some emeralds, rubies, sapphires, pearls and a host of other treasures that would make your senses whirl!

As I rejected all his list his bright eyes flashed with fire and, angrily, he said to me: “What is it you desire?”

I said: “A rainbow's far more beautiful than its’ supposed treasure and the ‘rainbow’ that I'm wishing for is priceless beyond measure.

“I'd like to have the dearest friends a person ever had to share in all the good times and help me through the bad...

“To laugh and sing and joke with, love and appreciate as we live life's greatest adventure that would certainly be great!”

“Oh, now I know you're daft!” he said as he ran off with his pot... “to waste your wish on something you have already got!”

BEER DRINKING CONTEST

An American tourist walked into an Irish pub and announced, "I'll give anyone $100 if they can drink 10 pints of Guinness in 10 minutes."

Most of the patrons ignored the absurd bet and continued their conversations. One fellow even left the pub.

A little while later, the same guy returned and asked the American, "Is that bet still on?"

"Sure," responded the Yank.

The bartender lined up 10 pints of Guinness on the bar, and the Irishman downed them all in less than 10 minutes.

As the American handed over the money he asked, "Just one thing--Where did you go when you left earlier?"

The Irishman replied, "I went next door to the other pub to see if I could do it."

An Irishman, Englishman and Scotsman go into a pub and each order a pint of Guinness.

Just as the bartender hands them over, three flies buzz down and one lands in each of the pints.

The Englishman looks disgusted, pushes his pint away and demands another pint.

The Scotsman picks out the fly, shrugs, and takes a long swallow.

The Irishman reaches in to the glass, pinches the fly between his fingers and shakes him while yelling, Spit it out, ya bastard! Spit it out!"
