O’Tolley’s Topics Hopes you are having a Happy Saint Patrick’s Day

Smiles for Saint Patrick’s Day

Into a Belfast pub comes Paddy Murphy, looking like he’d just been run over by a train. His arm is in a sling, his nose is broken, his face is cut and bruised And he’s walking with a limp.

“What happened to you?” asks Sean, the bartender.

” Jamie O’Conner and me had a fight,” says Paddy.

“That little shit, O’Conner,” says Sean, “He couldn’t do that to you, he must have had something in his hand.”

” That he did,” says Paddy, “a shovel is what he had, and a terrible lickin’ he gave me with it.”

” Well,” says Sean, “you should have defended yourself, didn’t you have something in your hand?”

” That I did,” said Paddy.

“Mrs. O’Conner’s breast, and a thing of beauty it was, but useless in a fight.”

An Irishman who had a little too much to drink is driving home from the city one night and, of course, his car is weaving violently all over the road. A cop pulls him over.

” So,” says the cop to the driver, where have ya been?”

“Why, I’ve been to the pub of course,” slurs the drunk.

” Well,” says the cop, “it looks like you’ve had quite a few to drink this evening.”

” I did all right,” the drunk says with a smile.

“Did you know,” says the cop, standing straight and folding his arms across his chest, that a few intersections back, your wife fell out of your car?”

“Oh, thank heavens,” sighs the drunk. “For a minute there, I thought I’d gone deaf.”

 

Brenda O’Malley is home making dinner, as usual, when Tim Finnegan arrives at her door.

“Brenda, may I come in?” he asks. “I’ve somethin to tell ya”.

” Of course you can come in, you’re always welcome, Tim. But where’s my husband?”

” That’s what I’m here to be telling ya, Brenda. “There was an accident down at the Guinness brewery…”

“Oh, God no!” cries Brenda. “Please don’t tell me.”

” I must, Brenda. Your husband Shamus is dead and gone. I’m sorry.”

Finally, she looked up at Tim.. “How did it happen, Tim?”

” It was terrible, Brenda. He fell into a vat of Guinness Stout and drowned.”

“Oh my dear Jesus! But you must tell me the truth, Tim. Did he at least go quickly?”

“Well, Brenda…. No. In fact, he got out three times to pee.”

 

Mary Clancy goes up to Father O’ Grady after his Sunday morning service, and she’s in tears.

He says, ” So what’s bothering you, Mary my dear?”

She says, “Oh, Father, I’ve got terrible news . My husband passed away last night.”

The priest says, “Oh, Mary, that’s terrible. Tell me, Mary, did he have any last requests?”

She says, “That he did, Father.”

The priest says, “What did he ask, Mary? “

She says, He said, ‘Please Mary, put down that damn gun..’

A drunk staggers into a Catholic Church, enters a confessional booth, sits down, but says nothing.

The Priest coughs a few times to get his attention but the drunk continues to sit there.

Finally, the Priest pounds three times on the wall. The drunk mumbles, “ain’t no use knockin, there’s no paper on this side either!

 

Word On The Street…SNAKES

The legend goes that Saint Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland. I believe this legend.

My theory is that all the snakes slithered across the Atlantic Ocean to America and formed our Evil Democrat Party.

I also believe that ‘What Goes Around Comes Around.’

We got the snakes and Ireland got Rosie O’Donnell.

????? Run Of The Mill

The word “mill” originally referred to a wide variety of buildings that were equipped with machines that were used to grind wheat and other grains into flour. As new machines were invented, some of them were considered specialized mills such as the windmill and sawmill. When the textile processing machine was invented, it too was referred to as “the textile mill,” or just “the mill.” The textile mill was used to generate yards of fabric. This fabric was named “run of the mill” because it had just come straight out of the textile milling machine. It would then be taken to other machines where it was to be cut, graded for quality, or dyed into different colors. There was no way of knowing the quality of the “run of the mill” fabric until it had undergone further processing. So, the phrase “run of the mill” took on the meaning “product of undefined quality.” 

From there, the phrase gained wide usage, and it’s now used to refer to things that are ordinary, average, or basic, and are not outstanding in any way of rarity or quality.

Astronomy Picture of the Day

The Tadpoles of IC 410
Image Credit & Copyright: Nico Carver

Explanation: This telescopic close-up shows off the central regions of otherwise faint emission nebula IC 410, captured under backyard skies. Presented in a Hubble color palette, the image combines visible broadband and narrowband data with data from the near-infrared. Below and right of center are two remarkable inhabitants of the interstellar pond of gas and dust. the Tadpoles of IC 410. Partly obscured by foreground dust, the nebula itself surrounds NGC 1893, a young galactic cluster of stars. Formed in the interstellar cloud a mere 4 million years ago, the intensely hot, bright cluster stars energize the glowing gas. But the cosmic tadpoles themselves are composed of denser cooler gas and dust. Around 10 light-years long they are likely sites of ongoing star formation. Sculpted by stellar winds and radiation their heads are outlined by bright ridges of ionized gas while their tails trail away from the cluster’s central young stars. IC 410 lies some 10,000 light-years away, toward the nebula-rich constellation Auriga.
