Happy St. Patrick's Day. I've always had an appreciation for language and wit. Perhaps it is rooted in my ancestry? Today, everyone is Irish. Hope you're all wearing green.

Here's a few other ones I like:

-You've got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather was.

-Don't give cherries to pigs or advice to fools

-Here's to our wives and girlfriends: May they never meet!

-God invented whiskey to keep the Irish from ruling the world

-I can resist everything except temptation. ~ Oscar Wilde

And, if you're bored here's a scene from one of my favorite movies (The Quiet Man)

PS Not trying to be preachy or religious with that first story--was more interested in the actual sayings!
