Irish Humor - Not Bad For A Small Parrish
One fine day in Ireland, a guy is out golfing and gets up to the 16th hole. He tees up and cranks one. Unfortunately, it goes into the woods on the other side of the fairway. The man goes looking for his ball and comes across this little fella with a huge knot on his head, and his golf ball lying right beside him.
"Goodness and praise the Lord," says the golfer, and proceeds to revive the poor little fella. Upon awaking, the little fella says, "Well now, ye caught me fair and square. Being that I am a Leprechaun, I must obey the rules so I will grant ye three wishes."
The man says "I can't take anything from you, I'm just glad I didn't hurt you too badly," and walks away back to the golf course. Watching the golfer depart, the Leprechaun says "Well, he was a nice enough guy, and he did catch me, so I have to do something for
him. I'll give him the three things that I would want. I'll give him unlimited money, a great golf game, and a great sex life."
Well, a year goes past (as they often do in jokes like this) and the same golfer is out golfing on the same course at the 16th hole. He gets up and hits one into the same woods and goes off looking for his ball. When he finds the ball he sees the same little guy and asks how he is doing.
The Leprechaun says, "I'm fine, and might I ask how your golf game is?" The golfer says, "It's great! I hit under par every time." The Leprechaun says, "I did that for you. And might I ask how your money
is holding out?"
The golfer says, "Well, now that you mention it, every time I put my hand in my pocket, I pull out a hundred dollar bill." The Leprechaun smiles and says, "I did that for you, too. And might I ask how your sex life is?"
The golfer looks at him a little shyly and says, "Well, maybe once or twice a week." The Leprechaun is floored and stammers, "Once or twice a week? Is that all?
The golfer looks at him and says, "Well, that's not too bad for a Catholic priest in a small Irish parish."
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Irish Humor - Long Distance Salvation
An Irish business man hired a Kerryman as an assistant to take customer service phone calls. One day the phone rang and when the Kerryman answered he hung up immediately. This went on for about an hour until the boss asks Pat, "Who was that on the phone and why did you hang up on him?"
Pat said, "twas some fool kept calling me and saying it was long distance from New York. I told him everybody knew that half an hour ago."
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Irish Humor - House Of Ill Repute
Pat and Mike were doing some street repairs in front of a well known house of ill repute in Boston when along came a Jewish Rabbi walking down the street. The Rabbi looked to his left, then to his right, and quickly ducked into the house. Pat paused a bit from swinging his pick and said "Mike... will you look at that! A man of the cloth, and going into a place like that in broad daylight!"
A wee bit later, a Baptist minister came down the street. The Minister looked to his left, then to his right, and then scurried into the house. Mike laid down his shovel, turned to Pat and said "Pat! Are you seeing what
I'm seeing right now? A man of the Church, and he's giving that place his custom!"
About twenty minutes later a Catholic Priest came down the street. The Priest looked to his left, then to his right, and waltzed into the bawdy house of ill refute. Pat and Mike straightened up upon seeing this with their own eyes, quickly removed their hats, bowed their heads, as Mike says "Faith be to Jesus, there must be somebody sick in there."

Lost In The Twilight Zone - No Time Like The Past
Special Lost Update - Season V - 03/11/2009
Submitted For Your Approval: As promised, tonight is a special Lost update, our destination, The Twilight Zone. We will visit the past, the present, and perhaps the future. I will use Twilight Zone episode #112 from season IV, 1963, titled, No Time Like The Past as the template for tonight's journey. As always with my Lost/Twilight Zone updates, the format remains the same. I will offer the original Serling opening monologue, my personal synopsis of the episode, then Serling's original epilogue of the episode, and finally, what it all means to ABC Lost. Let's begin shall we...
As like all Twilight Zone episodes, Rod Serling offered an opening monologue that went something like this...
Opening Monologue:
Exit one Paul Driscoll, a creature of the 20th century. He puts to a test a complicated theorem of space-time continuum, but he goes a step further, or tries to. Shortly, he will seek out three moments of the past in a desperate attempt to alter the present - one of the odd and fanciful functions in a shadowland known as the Twilight Zone.
Story Synopsis:
Paul Driscol has access to a time machine. He intends to use the machine to go back in time and alter the course of history for the betterment of Mankind. His first attempt goes bad as he tries to convince the Japanese military that a bomb will explode in Hiroshima. In his second attempt he goes back before the start of World War II and attempts to assassinate Adolf Hitler but fails. His third attempt is to prevent the RMS Lusitania from being torpedoed but again fails.
Depressed for failing so many times, Driscol comes to the conclusion that the past cannot be changed no matter how hard one tries to do so. He then decides to travel back to a more peaceful time and settles on the year 1881, and intends to live his life out.
Arriving in the past, Driscol realizes that the president, James Garfeild, will be assassinated the next day. He doesn't interfere and Garfield is shot. Later on, he attempts to prevent a schoolhouse from burning down that he read about. Instead of preventing the fire, he inadvertently causes the fire and schoolhouse to burn down.
Realizing that he cannot live in the past knowing what the future brings, he returns to his present time learning a hard lesson to not tamper or attempt to change the course of history.
Epilogue:
Incident on a July afternoon, 1881. A man named Driscoll who came and went and, in the process, learned a simple lesson, perhaps best said by a poet named Lathbury, who wrote, 'Children of yesterday, heirs of tomorrow, what are you wearing? Labor and sorrow? Look to your looms again, faster and faster fly the great shuttles prepared by the master. Life's in the loom, room for it--room!'
Tonight's tale of clocks and calendars. In the Twilight Zone.
WOW! Take a minute and let what you just read sink in. Don't worry, you have plenty of time as ABC is airing a repeat of Lost tonight. (BTW, ABC said they would air 16 straight episodes with no breaks, seems they lied, just like Ben Linus) The question for tonight, what is the premise of season five for ABC Lost and where is the series headed? That's right boys and girls, (And the several alien species that read my updates) it's all about time travel and attempting to change past events.
We can easily compare Daniel Faraday or Ben Linus to Paul Driscol. Faraday seems to have the intellect and knowledge to understand and manipulate the complicated space-time theorem. You see him conducting several experiments on the island with the rockets. He also knows about the past, and the future. He has been there before. As for Ben, he may not possess the intellect, but he controls the time machine, and thus, controls destiny. We know that both Faraday and Linus have visited the past before. The results are not yet determined, but seeing that the island is in a hell of a mess, and Faraday and Linus are still traveling back in time, the results are not acceptable. The same fate was had for Driscol in Twilight Zone.
Moving on to Driscol picking a quiet time in the past to settle down and live the rest of his life out, we know that didn't work out to well for him. He inadvertently caused the school house fire he was trying to prevent. Sawyer and Juliet are 30 years in the past, 1974, and after confronting Horace, they become integral parts of the Dharma Initiative, and becomes a powerful man. We know by using this Twilight Zone episode as a template that Sawyer and Juliet will not end up well in their current time frame.
As a side note, Desmond saw the future, and saw Charlie dying. No matter what Desmond did to prevent Charlie from dying, fate or destiny took it's course and Charlie did die.
Perhaps Ben Linus, trapped in a continuous loop of desperation and insanity, is unprepared for tonight's lesson, taught only in the Twilight Zone.
