Just in time for the festivities, a thought from my Irish/British hubby . . .
Two Irishmen, Patrick & Michael, were adrift in a lifeboat following a
dramatic escape from a burning freighter. While rummaging through the
boat's provisions, Patrick stumbled across an old lamp.
Secretly hoping that a genie would appear, he rubbed the lamp vigorously. To
the amazement of Patrick, a genie came forth. This particular genie, however,
stated that he could only deliver one wish, not the standard three. Without
giving much
thought to the matter, Patrick blurted out,
"Make the entire ocean into Guinness!"
The genie clapped his hands, and with a deafening crash, immediately
the entire sea turned into the finest brew ever sampled by mortals.
Simultaneously, the genie vanished. Only the gentle lapping of Guinness
on the hull broke the stillness as the two men considered their
circumstances.
Michael looked disgustedly at Patrick whose wish had been granted. After a
long, tension-filled moment, he spoke:
"Nice going Patrick! Now we're going to have to pee in the boat."
