One Brave Irishman

One day, little Hiram jr. came home from school and asked his mom, Medawisla(short for Steph),," Where is Daddy Mom? He said he was going to take me out shooting!! Well say's Medawisla,,,I'm afraid I have some bad news for you. Your poor daddy was working at the brewery today, and I'm afraid he fell into a vat of Guiness and drowned. OH NO exclaimed little Hiram. Was'nt there anyone around to help him get out?? Oh yes said Medawisla (short for Steph),,,3 men jumped in to save him, but he bravely fought them all off!!!:):D:p;)

That's one ale of a story, but being a stout man with a good head on his shoulders, it's not surprising.

Gotta be careful Dave with that ethnic humor. . . it's not politically correct.

Look Out Guys!

I think this thread is a hoot, but a while back I made one comment in jest about folks from south of the Mason Dixon line and the "war of Northern Aggression" was re-incarnated. I'd definetly chime in as a pure 100% tabacknac Frenchman, but I have learned the lesson!:) I hope the ethnic police aren't lurking.

"Ethnic police"?

You still don't get it, do you? And you just can't let it go. The comment you make "in jest" can be just as offensive as one with an offensive intent. But I think you know that...

I've been quiet in this thread - I'm not an "ethnic cop" as you may imply. But you made offensive remarks about my relatives and I spoke up. I'll do so again if you continue to feel the need to offer boorish comments.

Sorry. I'll never get over offensive behavior. And I didn't say you "bored me". I said your behavior was "boorish". There's a difference.

You're the one that decided to take a poke at me and bring up old animosities - not sure why.

LOL I wanted so much to ask the same question!
But I won't answer it!

Actually, knowing what little I know about you, I'll say you'd make a better George Jefferson. :)

And regarding offensive behavior, there is very little any of us can say that someone somewhere would not find offensive. It all depends on the pitcher and the receiver. And often, you don't know until after it's been said. How you each act and react after that sometimes makes the difference.

Just kidding!

Sorry back at you Bruce. I don't have a bigot bone in my body. trust me. But I find some of the Blue Collar Comedy stuff hilarious. Didn't intend to re-kindle any old crap, trust me. There are some out there right now that probably think jokes about Frenchman and Lawyers are out of line, but you know what.... it's all meant to be funny. Life's too short to get our blood pressure up over this type of stuff.

Let's get back to ol'Blue Pill and how he became a board member.:)

I'll take the blame here seeing how I kinda started it "as one Irishman to another". So, changing the subject......

As one former career firefighter to another (Dan), take one firefighter and 2 ball bearings and lock them in a room. Come back in one hour. One ball bearing will be missing and the other broken.

OK.....go ahead and beat me up. :D:D

Irish guys

Hey, no offense, Paul. It's easy for any of us to inadvertanly hit a nerve on a site like this. I think there's about 500 members and if you get out of line, somebody will surely let you know That said, the folks here are a good bunch, not mean spirited and reasonably tolerant. You having homemade cornbeef and guiness on St Patties'day? I have a local butcher brining me up some beef. To hell with the diet!:)

Sure hope I did'nt offend anyone,,,If I did I sincerely apologize and I promise it will never happen again;). Wait a minute ,,,,,,I offended myself!!! Now I'm mad:mad: Oh Boy,,wait till I get ahold of myself, why I'll,,,wait ,,,maybe I'll get a lawyer and sue!! Anyone know a good lawyer??? Would a retired lawyer be cheaper??? Can they still sue people now that they are not practicing and are now just plain old normal people???LOL Sorry Dubord,,,Any way,,,those that know me realize that I love to joke around ,,and would never mean to really offend anyone that does not deserve it. Really hope I did'nt offend Hiram, because I know him, and he has very fragile feelings, a very sensitive guy, and you have to be careful not to offend people that have spent that much time in prison, cause they can be dangerous!! Happy caching to all,,,and no offense meant to anyone:o;):D
