He drove the Snakes out of Ireland


St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is one of Christianity's most widely known figures. But for all his celebrity, his life remains somewhat of a mystery. Many of the stories traditionally associated with St. Patrick, including the famous account of his banishing all the snakes from Ireland, are false, the products of hundreds of years of exaggerated storytelling.

Top 5 – things you should do to get ready for St Patrick’s Day

5 pick up an extra large bottle of Tylenol
4 if you’re a glutton for punishment listen to the Irish Rovers and the Carlton Showband
3 See if anybody remembers the tv show ‘The Pig and Whistle’ if they do – beat them up.
2 start looking for a parade to be in …
and the Number One thing you should do to get ready for St. Patrick’s Day – haul out the Patty O’ Furniture.
In Canada we have shamrocks, too. The economy is on the rocks and the government is a sham.

The Irish believe in leprechauns. Leprechauns are mischievous little fellows who delight in telling wildly exaggerated stories. They're like little green pauperizes.

St. Patrick's Day -- when everybody is half Irish and half plastered.

Got the St Patrick’s day weekend coming up – when everyone who wants to drink on Sunday night puts Mc in front of their name. Here’s how funny it sounds when you put Mc in front of your last name .. a few people that work around CJVR.. McSkender, McRomaniuk, McTuleta, McSanderson. McHankey..... do that at work a few times it’s a lot of fun and will make you very popular.

St Patricks day weekend and I wonder if MacDonalds are thinking of bringing back the Shamrock Shake for the weekend. We should get a lobby group going … I suppose if they wanted to make it really successful they could put a thimble full of the good stuff in it.
Hey – coming up is the last weekend of winter … Top 7 ways you can tell it’s the last weekend of winter …..

5 just got a call from OK tire and my snow tires are in
4 feels like you’re surrounded by people with tans and shirts that say Florida
