my mom is well known for both statements of the obvious and verbal bloopers . for example she would tell me to take a scarf and put it round my neck or put some shoes on my feet , that kind of thing . the last statement of the bleeding obvious i recently got was to lick a stamp and stick it to the envelope !
the other thing you need to know to make the joke i am about to tell you funny is mom has very bad sight without her glasses.
anyway on Tuesday night she did an injury to her rib by stubbing her foot in the stairs and jerking her side . she went to Dr Mc Shane the next morning who told her he suspected a fractured rib . mom mentioned it to the doctor at her chemo session and got taken for an x ray . she was sitting waiting for her turn when an elderly man joined her . she saw him go off through a door that mom thought was the x ray area . she then noticed he finished after about 3 minutes or so and came back through the same door . mom remarked to the man you were very quick . it was only after mom was taken for her own x ray that she realized the door she saw the man go through was actually the toilet ! that why he was gone for so short a time .
rather then make a second blog post i thought i would take this chance to wish you a happy St Patrick's day or la fheile padraig shona dhaoibh. if you prefare it in Irish . my family don't really celebrate it all that much .in my opinion this day is more for tourists then for locals . i am not patriotic although i do like my county , even though there are a lot of things wrong with it too . another reason for my lack of patriotism is both my dad and boyfriend are form the UK therefore i would never make a republican ! ( american people please note in Ireland republicans are Irish nationalists who wish the 6 counties that currently make up northern Ireland to be governed by Ireland not the UK as i is at the moment , it is not a conservative political party )
today , saturday , is the day itself but we have been granted next Monday as a public holiday . so i am sure you will find a lot of the population of Dublin in the pub yesterday today and tomorrow ! the weather is nice too so i hope the St Patrick's weekend festival will have a good attendance .
i will leave you with a toast to St Patrick:
St Patrick was a scholar who through strategy and stealth
drove all the snakes for ireland
have a toasting to his health .
but not to many toastings least we loose ourselves and then
forget the good St Patrick and see the snakes again !
enjoy the weekend !
