After St. Patrick
chased the snakes out of Ireland, he decided to rid the country
of the Norwegians. He poisoned their potatoes. But, alas,
they just made lefse (potato bread) from it.
"Okay, I'll
poison their favorite fish, cod." Again, the Norwegians
just made lutefisk (cod soaked in lye) of it.
"This isn't
working at all," said St. Patrick. "They can all just go
to hell."
And that,
my friends, is how all the Norwegians ended up in Minnesota.

give up the drinking, smoking and carousing?' said the do-gooder.
'It's too
late,' replied Murphy.
'It's never
too late,' assured the virtuous one.
'Well, there's
no rush then,' smiled Murphy.

One fine sunny
morning, the priest took a walk in the local forest. He had
been walking by the small stream when he noticed a sad, sad
looking frog sitting on a toadstool.
"What's wrong
with you?" said the priest.
"Well," said
the frog, "the reason I am so sad on this fine day is because
I wasn't always a frog."
"Really!"
said the priest. "Can you explain!"
"Once upon
a time I was an 11 year old Choir boy at the local church.
I too was walking through this forest when I was confronted
by the wicked witch of the forest. 'Let me pass!' I yelled,
but to no avail. She called me a cheeky little boy and with
a flash of her wand, turned me into this frog you see before
you."
"That's an
incredible story" said the priest. "Is there no way of reversing
this spell that the witch has cast upon you?."
"Yes" said
the frog, "It is said, that if a nice kind person would
pick me up, take me home, give me food & Warmth and with
a good nights sleep would wake up a boy once again."
"Today's your
lucky day!" said the priest, and picked up the frog and
took him home. The priest gave the frog lots of food, placed
him by the fire and at bedtime put the frog on the pillow
beside him. When the priest awoke, he saw the 11-year-old
Choirboy beside him in bed
"And that
my lord is the case for the Defense....... "

Kathleen Murphy
was standing vigil over her husband's death bed.
As she held
his hand, her warm tears ran silently down her face, splashed
onto his face, and roused him from his slumber.
He looked
up and his pale lips began to move slightly.
"My darling
Kathleen, " he whispered. "Hush, my love," she said. "Go
back to sleep. Shhh, don't talk."
But he was
insistent.
"Kathleen,"
he said in his tired voice. "I have to talk. I have something
I must confess to you."
"There's nothing
to confess," replied the weeping Kathleen. "It's all right.
Everything's all right, go to sleep now."
"No, no. I
must die in peace, Kathleen. I slept with your sister, your
best friend, and your mother."
Kathleen mustered
a pained smile and stroked his hand. "Hush now Patrick,
don't torment yourself. I know all about it," she said.
"Why do you think I poisoned you?"
