Good morning crew,

They say that on St. Patrick's Day everyone is Irish, but at any given Irish parade, like the one this weekend for example, it takes a little more. But usually 10 or 12 beers will do it.

That turned out to be a long day, especially for a Sunday. But the rest of the weekend was nice and boring. The wife was offered another pet sitting job and she just couldn't bring herself to turn down the money. So I got to spend most of the weekend by myself.

We made up for it on Sunday though, starting out around noon and going through early evening. And if you think that is a long day for a Sunday (and you would be right) imagine how that makes Monday feel.

Laugh it up,

Joe

Longtime friends were celebrating their 50th anniversary. One of their sons gave a loving toast, finishing with, "and thank you for having such a beautiful marriage."

"Thank you for making it necessary," the father joked.

In the silence that followed, his wife whispered, "Not him. He's the second son."

Mom and Dad were trying to console Susie, whose dog Skipper had recently died.

"You know," Mom said, "it's not so bad. Skipper's probably up in Heaven right now, having a grand old time with God."

Susie stopped crying and asked, "What would God want with a dead dog?"
