Saturday Night St. Patty's Day Joke

A man stumbles up to the only other patron in the pub and asks if he could buy him a drink. “Why of course,” comes the reply. The first man then asks “Where are you from?” “I’m from Ireland,” replies the second man. The first man responds “You don’t say, I’m from Ireland too! Let’s have another round to Ireland.” “Naturally,” replies the second man. Curious, the first man then asks “Where in Ireland are you from?” “Dublin,” comes the reply. “I can’t believe it,” says the first man. “I’m from Dublin too! Let’s have another drink to Dublin.” “Of course,” replies the second man. Curiosity again strikes and the first man asks “What school did you go to?” “Saint Mary’s,” replies the second man. “I graduated in ’67.” “This is unbelievable!” the first man says. “I went to Saint Mary’s and also I graduated in ’67!” About that time, in comes one of the regulars and sits down at the bar. “What’s been going on?” he asks the bartender. “Nothing much,” replies the bartender. “Just the O’Malley twins are drunk again.”

Bonus joke from The Gipper



OK - one more!

Flynn was reminiscing about the first time he took his son Paddy out for a drink. They went to the local pub, which is only two blocks from their home. Flynn got him a Guinness. Paddy didn't like it - so Flynn drank it. Then Flynn got him a Smithwick's, Paddy didn't like it either, so Flynn drank it. It was the same with the Harp and the Murphy's. By the time they got through the Irish whiskey, Flynn could hardly push the stroller back home.

St. Patrick's Day Traditions

Chicago is well known for its tradition of dying the river green

Here are some other Unusual St. Patrick’s Day Traditions Around The World

Strange St. Patrick’s Day Traditions In The United States

1. New London, Wisconsin
In New London, leprechauns crawl around the city and change all the signs to “New Dublin” for the day — even on the highway.

2. Portland, Maine
Talk about a rude awakening: the Paddy’s Day Plunge of Portland, Maine, involves jumping into the freezing Atlantic Ocean at 5:30 a.m.

***

5. Hot Springs, Arkansas
Hot Springs is the home of the world’s shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade, which takes place on “The Shortest Street in Everyday Use in the World,” as it was named by Ripley’s Believe It Or Not in the 1940s. Bridge Street, which is only 98 feet long, hosts the hour-long parade, which includes Elvis impersonators, a Blarney Stone kissing contest and various other performances.

Unusual St. Patrick’s Day Traditions In The Rest Of The World

6. Montserrat
This Caribbean island, home to a sizable Irish Catholic population since the 17th century, is the only place in the world outside of Ireland where St. Patrick’s Day is a public holiday.

***

9. International Space Station
How “international” are we talking here? Because apparently, St. Patrick’s Day isn’t only earthbound. In 2013, a Canadian astronaut wore green, took a photo of Ireland from space and posted a video of him singing “Danny Boy.”
