I knew I was part Scots, Nordic, etc. but now I guess I'm part Neanderthal, too ;-).

Passion is attributed to Redheads.
While it is true that Redheads are volatile ( like me), I am convinced it is the result of relentless teasing.
I heard all of them. It makes you a little defensive.
I am the soul of decorum. Slow to anger and steadfast.

You lacked the fine hand required to handle a redhead.
Redheads are intense.

I can't tell you how many times a day I give thanks to the Lord for allowing me to be hitched to her. And can she cook, she can take nothing and turn it into the best stuff ever.

I've been meaning to talk to you about all those boats. How far do you plan to go with this?I'm planning to build one or more, full scale, in the future.

Most likely the problems encountered in the breeding were the 700 pound women with four breasts.

Nice Hair...

The influence of shipwrecked Spanish sailors from the Armada on the Irish population is minimal, for several reasons. First, most of the survivors that landed in Ireland were captured by pro-English forces or bandits. Many of the Spanish sailors were Galicians, who do not fit the swarthy stereotype of Spaniards. Many Galicians resemble the fairer Irish, as that part of Spain was originally Celtic speaking. Indeed, Galicians were among the Celts who settled in Ireland circa 500 BC. Third, the absence of Spanish surnames in Ireland would indicate, in a patrilinear society, that the Armada survivors represent any significant proportion of the Irish population. Contrast this with the relatively high frequency of Norman French and English surnames, reflective of the pre-Reformation Anglo-Norman invasions.
The presence of Mediterranean looking Irishmen and the genetic similarity of many Irish to the Basques represent settlement patterns that well predate the defeated Armada and even the birth of Christ. Ireland had inhabitants prior to the arrival of the Celts, who may have been akin to the Basques. Additionally, trade routes from the eastern Mediterranean extended into the British Isles, and Ireland was never out of touch with sailors, traders, and merchants from that area. These influences are more plausible explanations for the "Black Irish" than are Armada survivors.
