How do you get an Irishman’s tongue black?

Pour whiskey on a new paved road!

(ok, that’s it for the Irish jokes I know)

Which half?

Irish joke: Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place. Looking up to heaven he said, "Lord take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up me Irish Whiskey!"

Miraculously, a parking place appeared.

Paddy looked up again and said, "Never mind, I found one."

It is impossible to be half Irish. You either are or your aren’t. It’s like saying I’m half-pregnant. Irish, like American, isn’t a physicality but a spirituality. If you act like it and believe like it, then you are it. IMHIO

I was at the market today and the Checkout lady asked if I was celebrating St. Paddy's Day, as I bought some Newcy Brown. I told her “Wrong Color, and you might have noticed it is not Guinness, Orange is more our line, but we must keep a low profile today.”

Your analysis is further complicated by the fact that, today, we're all Irish. Top of the mornin' to ya, Paddy!

I worked in South Boston for 22 years, they tolerated my political opinions, but to be hung at the corner of L St and West Broadway was not something I relished.

Folks, if you’re expecting political correctness from David Burge...you’ve obviously never read David Burge.

Hawk, have a fair and balanced St. Pat’s...a double Jameson in one hand, and a double Bushmills in the other. Two pints of Guinness back.
