The rain ☔ was pouring down outside O’Connor’s Irish Pub.There standing in front of a big puddle outside the pub was an old Irishman, drenched, holding a stick, with a piece of string dangling In the water.

A passer-by stopped and asked him, “What are you doing?

“Fishing” 🎣, replied the old man.

Feeling sorry for the old man, the gent says,

“Come in out of the rain ☔ and have a drink with me.”

In the warm ambiance of the pub, as they sip their whiskies, the Gentleman, being a bit of a superior smart ass, cannot resist asking,

“So how many have you caught today?”…………

 “You’re the 8th”, replied the old man.

In the 1960s there was a US TV game show called Hollywood Squares. Stars were asked questions by the host, and the contestants had to guess whether their answer was correct or not, but the real power of the show was the one-liners that the stars answered the question with, before giving their real answer. Remember it was the 60’s….some smart cookies here!

A woman takes a lover home during the day while her husband is at work.  Her 9-year old son comes home unexpectedly, sees them, and hides in the bedroom closet.  

Then the woman’s husband also comes home.   She puts her lover in the closet, not realizing that the little boy is in there already. 

The little boy says, ‘Dark in here.’ 

The man says, ‘Yes, it is.’ 

Boy – ‘I have a golf ball.’ 

Man – ‘That’s nice.’ 

Boy – ‘Want to buy it?’ 

Man – ‘No, thanks.’  

Boy – ‘My dad’s outside.’ 

Man – ‘OK, how much?’ 

Boy – ‘$250’ 

A few weeks later, it happens again that the boy and the lover are in the closet together. 

Boy – ‘Dark in here.’ 

Man – ‘Yes, it is.’ 

Boy – ‘I have sand wedge.’ 

The lover, remembering the last time, asks the boy, ‘How much?’ 

Boy – ‘$750’ 

Man – ‘Sold..’ 

A few days later, the boy’s father says to the boy, ‘Grab your sand wedge and golf ball, let’s go outside and have some short game practice.   The boy says, ‘I can’t, I sold my ball and sand wedge dad.’

The father says, ‘What?!   How much did you sell them for?’ 

Boy – ‘$1,000.’ 

The father says, ‘That’s terrible to overcharge your friends like that.   That is far more than those two things cost.   I’m going to take you to church and make you confess.’ 

They go to the church and the father makes the little boy sit in the confession booth and he closes the door. 

The boy says, ‘Dark in here.’

The priest says, ‘Don’t start that shit with me again.  “You’re in my closet now!’

To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine and those who don’t and are always seen with a bottle of water in their hand: As Ben Franklin said:  In wine there is wisdom, In beer there is freedom, In water there is bacteria.

In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of E. Coli – bacteria found in feces.

In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop annually.

However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and fermenting.

Remember: Water = Poop, Wine = Health

Therefore, it’s better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of shit.

Not sure if our politicians are overdosing on water or wine. There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I’m doing it as a public service

I hope this poem has the same effect on you as it did on me; then my forwarding it will be worth the effort.   Walk with me while I age – worth the read.
