St. Patrick's Day Wishes

"May you be in heaven half an hour before the Devil knows you're dead."

Let me tell you a little known fact about our family - the bloodlines that created Canada's Mighty Elves.

Way back on our mother's, mother's, mother,'s (times five hundred) side, we are related to The Grand Leprechauns of Ireland and The Stalwart Brownies of the Lowland Scots.

On this august occasion of St. Patrick's Day, we call upon our royal Irish bloodline - to wish you a fine and happy day. Spring is in the air and the sun shines brightly for one and all.

And all things GREEN are IN. Who'd a thunk it?

Here are a couple of wee water cooler stories for those furtive get-togethers:

A ventriloquist is telling Irish jokes in a pub, when an irate Irishman stands up : "You're making' out we're all dumb and stupid. I oughtta punch you in the nose.""I'm sorry sir, I...""Not you," says the Irishman, "I'm talking to that little fella on your knee."

Paddy was tooling along the road one fine day when the local policeman, a friend of his, pulled him over.
"What's wrong, Seamus?" Paddy asked.
"Well didn't ya know, Paddy, that your wife fell out of the car about five miles back?" said Seamus.
"Ah, praise the Almighty!" Paddy replied with relief. "I thought I'd gone deaf!"
