No too bad. My eldest sister just told me. I think she got it from one of her grandkids:

An Irishman interviews for a job in accounting for a firm. The interviewer tells him to demonstrate the number 9 without using any numbers. The Irishman quickly draws a picture of three trees and explains "Tree and tree and tree are 9." The interviewer nods and says "What about 99?". The Irishman quickly draws soil around the base of each tree and says "Dirty tree and dirty tree and dirty tree make 99." The interviewer is somewhat taken aback but then says, "Do do 100." So the Irishman draws a little pile next to each tree and explains "Dirty tree and a turd, dirty tree and a turd, dirty tree and a turd. 100!" A slight pause, then, "So when do I get the job?"


Keep 'em coming. We Irish have thick skins and like to laugh.

Yes, I agree Muncle! That's what I love about being Irish. We have the ability to laugh at ourselves. And, of course, great wit to make fun of life in general! I believe we are a joyous people . . . even without the alcohol!

PROUD TO BE IRISH!

Like my father used to say, "If you're buyin', I'm Irish." (But he really was.)

Irish Grandma's favorite saying "May you live every day of your life." (Words I've always lived by.)

Family Song: Danny Boy.

Family Roots: Dublin & County Cork

Family Get togethers: Lots of singing around Cousin Johnny playing the piano, lots of food, lots of games, lots of drinks, lots of mischief, lots of laughs. "The Poor Man's Kennedys"!

Muncle you did remind me a bit of a leprechaun at the last TOTV lunch.
