The Irish Are Famous For Their Humor

Temple Bar- Dublin Ireland
The Irish are famous for their quick wit and humor. It is one of our many endearing traits. Every St. Patrick's Day there will be thousands upon thousands of Irish jokes and anedotes about us. However, you will never hear a joke about the Irish beginning with, "So this Irishman walks out of a bar...."

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

How To Properly Drink A Guinness Beer

How To properly Drink Guinness
How To properly Drink Guinness
Inside the Irish Pub you patiently wait as the bartender expertly pours your Guinness beer and presents it to you. The Guinness stands in all it's glory in front of you. What you do next is critical and if you are a tourist, all eyes in the pub are now upon you anticipating what you do next. This is a very important time in your life inside an Irish pub.

Do not, I repeat, do not grab the glass and sip the Guinness. If you do, you will hear moans from the well respected Irish folk drinking in the pub with you.

1) Instead, take a moment or two and inspect and appreciate the beauty of the Guinness beer in front of you with your eyes. Bask in the splendor of the gift from Heaven waiting for you.

2) After the respectful moment or two of waiting, rise to your feet from your chair or stool. Grip the glass with authority and keep your elbows up and the Guinness at eye level.

3) Tilt the glass to your mouth and embrace the nectar of the Gods taking a full gulp. Do not sip Guinness. Do not let the patrons see you sip lest you want to hear another round of moans directed towards you.

4) Gently place the glass down and prepare for your next taste. Make sure to drink from the same side of the glass so like you can count the rings on a tree trunk, you can count how many gulps it took to drink your pink of Guinness.

5) Repeat steps 3 and 4 until your glass is empty.

6) When finished, keep in mind, you are in Ireland, not in the states, and the bartender is not expecting a tip. However, if this was your first Guinness beer in an Irish Pub, or if your bartender performed above and beyond his normal excellent service, a tip of 10-15 percent would be acceptable. More importantly, thank the bartender and acknowledge the patrons inside the bar as you may not know it, but each and everyone of them were guiding you along in your journey to the perfect pint.

A proper toast to all in the pub could be....

My friends are the best friends.
Loyal, willing and able.
Now let’s get to drinking!
All glasses off the table!


HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY

Happy St. Patricks Day (2010)

Its Good to Be Irish
Its Good to Be Irish
From the Grassy Knoll Institute

May the Guinness be cold and hearty,
And tonight's party full of fun and laughter.
May you be surrounded by both family and friends,
And all your barmaids be like the one above.

Have a happy and safe St. Patrick's Day


Happy St. Patrick's Day!

A Tall Texan In Ireland

A Texan on vacation walks into a pub in Galway, Ireland and raises his voice to the crowd of drinkers. He shouts, "I hear you Irish are a bunch of drinking fools. I'll give $500 American dollars to anybody in here who can drink 10 pints of Guinness back to back." The room goes quiet and no one takes of the Texans offer.

Old Paddy Murphy gets up and leaves the bar. Thirty minutes later, he shows back up and taps the Texan on the shoulder. "Is your bet still good?" asks Paddy. The Texan answers, "Yes," and he orders the barman to line up 10 pints of Guinness.

Immediately, Paddy goes into action and downs all 10 pints of beer, drinking them all back to back. The other pub patrons cheer and the Texan sits down in amazement. The Texan gives the Irishman the $500 and asks, "If ya don't mind me asking, where did you go for that 30 minutes you were gone?"

Old Paddy Murphy replies, "Aye, I had to go to the pub down the street to see if I could do it first."

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY
