An Irish Story

Paddy is dying.

His wife, Molly, calls in the priest to give him his last rites.

The priest asks Paddy if he is comfortable ... to which he replies he is ready.

After the priest leaves, Molly enters and asks Paddy how he is doing?

Paddy replies that he is comfortable and ready to meet his maker.

Molly then asks Paddy, "Paddy, you've been such a wonderful husband ...  is there anything, anything at all I can do for you in your last hours?"

[Pause]

Paddy then replies, "Molly, I smell a ham a cookin' in the kitchen ... can I just have a wee slice?"

Molly quickly responds, "But Paddy, that'd spoil it for the wake."

A Suggestion

The men in blue from New York City have been dissing Mayor Bill de Blasio of late by turning their backs to him as he walks by or addresses them  ... see: Breitbart Article. (De Blasio did get back at them however by being two hours late to the wake of one of the assassinated policemen, Rafael Ramos.)

Although I believe that this gesture by New York's finest is easily justified by de Blasio's unprofessional disregard for them and their daily dangers, I would like to suggest that they also augment this protest with a mass-mooning of de Blasio while they are turned around.

Yes, I do realize that both sides are acting like teenagers ... but then so are the demonstrators and even out fearless leader. So think of this suggestion just as a mimicking our elected elites ... and it feels kinda good.
