MOUTHPIECE - March 15, 2016

Good Afternoon,

I know it's a bit early, but today's Mouthpiece is all about St. Patrick's Day. Hooray! Well, part of it.

I figured that I'd better get this one out because I'm gonna be enjoying St. Patrick's Day like I'm sure you and many of your fellow readers will be, I'll drink to that!

Good times, folks! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Mouthing Off,
Carl
