ST. PATRICK'S DAY
My favorite Irish joke
In
honor of my Irish great-grandmother Mary Canty:
Pat and Min were immigrants from the Auld Sod who'd been in the States for many a year. As it happens, Min started feeling poorly one day, and went to the doctor to see what was wrong.
When she got home, Pat asked her what the doctor had said. Min blushed and said, "Oh, Pat, it was embarrassin' -- I told the nice young man what was wrong, and he told me to come back in tomorrow with a urine sample. I didn't want to look like some poor stupid bogtrotter, but I don't know what a urine sample is!"
"Ah, don't fret, Min," Pat said. "Go next door to Mrs. McGillicuddy -- she's a nurse, she'll know all about medical t'ings."
So Min goes next door. An hour goes by, when she staggers home in a right state -- her hair's all wild about her head, her dress is torn, and she has a black eye.
"Min! What happened!" Pat exclaimed.
"Oh, it was turrible," Min said, shaking her head. "I went next door like you said, and I asked herself, "Mrs. McGillicuddy, what's a urine sample?' She said, 'Piss in a bottle.' I said, 'Shit in your hat to you!' and the fight was on!"
Oh, and since Steve wanted more nekkid cockroach pictures. . .
Let it never be said that I don't listen to my readers.
