A toast to St.Pat`s!

Written by Annie

In honor of the day, some Irish toasts, and sayings!

 

"May you die in bed at 95, shot by a jealous spouse."

 

"Here's to being single...
Drinking doubles...
And seeing triple!"

 

"I drink to your health when I'm with you,
I drink to your health when I'm alone,
I drink to your health so often,
I'm starting to worry about my own!"

 

"To live above with the Saints we love,
Ah, that is the purest glory.
To live below with the Saints we know,
Ah, that is another story!"

 

"Saint Patrick was a gentleman,
Who through strategy and stealth,
Drove all the snakes from Ireland,
Here’s a toasting to his health.
But not too many toastings
Lest you lose yourself and then
Forget the good Saint Patrick
And see all those snakes again."

 

"Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you fight with your neighbor. It makes you shoot at your landlord-and it makes you miss him."

 

"Morning is the time to pity the sober. The way they're feeling then is the best they're going to feel all day."

 

" The truth comes out when the spirit goes in."

 

"The family that has no skeleton in a cupboard has buried it instead"

 

"There are many good reasons for drinking,
One has just entered my head,
If a man doesn`t drink when he`s living,
How the hell can he drink when he`s dead?"
 

Happy St.Patrick`s Day!
