Do you know the difference between "Bull" and "Blarney?"

It really is just a matter of style.

Example of Bull: Man speaking to an older but still attractive woman - "Sweetheart, you're the most beautiful woman I have ever seen!"

Example of Blarney: Man speaking to same woman - "Tell me darlin, what would be your age so I may know the time in a woman's life when she is most attractive!"

That's blarney - telling a woman she will be uglier (or less beautiful) tomorrow than she is today!

Wow, I have to get more aquainted with Blarney.

Seems superior to bull in every way.

BTW

I think that Ireland was Atlantis, at least until the invent of whiskey.

At least that's the theory on Family Guy. Which we all know is the absolute truth.
