PIC OF THE WEEK - NOVA SCOTIA COASTLINE

When Harley went on his Canada trip with his pals a couple years ago, they took a ferry from Bar Harbor, Maine over to the southwest side of Nova Scotia and road some of those beautiful coastline roads.

NOVA SCOTIA COASTLINE
Someone told me once that being in Nova Scotia is as close as you can get to feeling like your in Scotland... without being in Scotland. Well, I still haven't been to either one, but since Harley has, and being this close to St. Patrick's Day, I thought I'd pull something from his archives that reminds me of the Irish.

I hope you all have a fantastic week and don't forget to wear green on Wednesday!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

Well, today is St. Patrick's Day, a good excuse for Irish Whiskey and green beer! Seeings how I've got me a little bit o' Irish in me, I thought I would celebrate with a little Irish humor!

Two Irishmen, Patrick & Michael, were adrift in a lifeboat following a dramatic escape from a burning freighter. While rummaging through the boat's provisions, Patrick stumbled across an old lamp. Secretly hoping that a genie would appear, he rubbed the lamp vigorously To the amazement of Patrick, a genie came forth. This particular genie, however, stated that he could only deliver one wish, not the standard three. Without giving much thought to the matter, Patrick blurted out, "Make the entire ocean into Guinness Beer!" The genie clapped his hands with a deafening crash, and immediately the entire sea turned into the finest brew ever sampled by mortals. Simultaneously, the genie vanished. Only the gentle lapping of Guinness on the hull broke the stillness as the two men considered their circumstances. Michael looked disgustedly at Patrick whose wish had been granted. After a long, tension-filled moment, he spoke: "Nice going Patrick! Now we're going to have to pee in the boat!

I'm sure there's a Road Captain out there somewhere who may appreciate floating in a sea of Guinness! Here's another.

Gallagher is in Boston and he is waiting patiently, also, he is watching the traffic cop on a busy street crossing. The cop stops the flow of traffic and shouts, 'Okay pedestrians'. Then he allows the traffic to pass. He did this several times, and Gallagher is still standing on the sidewalk. After the cop has shouted 'Pedestrians' for the tenth time, Gallagher approaches him and says, 'Is it not about time ye let the Catholics across?'

I hope you all have nice St. Patrick's day and may you all be blessed with your own pot of gold!
