Here comes the sun!

It's been a long, long winter but the sun still pouring through the window at 6pm makes me think that the end is nigh. The flood in the basement is a less uplifting indicator that a major thaw is underway.

A little St. Paddy's Day humour

Two Irishmen were sitting at a pub drinking beer and
watching the brothel across the street.
They see a Baptist minister walk into the brothel, and one
of them says, “Aye, ’tis a shame to see a man of the cloth
goin’ bad.”

Then they see a rabbi enter the brothel, and the other
Irishman said, “Aye, ’tis a shame to see that the Jews
are fallin’ victim to temptation as well.”

Then they see a catholic priest enter the brothel, and
one of the Irishmen says, “What a terrible pity …one of
the girls must be dying.”

There once was a nag from...


Creepy,yes, but I like it too.
This reminds me of the time my Auntie Sheila was in Cleveland, celebrating St. Patrick's Day, and her purse was snatched. When it was retrieved later that night all that remained in it was the "Kiss Me I'm Irish" button.
