Easy Sudoku for 18/March/2010

Good Maen, good people!

Good Maen

Top O' the Mornin'!
(I LOVE these two-day holidays!) “May you always have...
Walls for the winds, A roof for the rain
Tea beside the fire, Laughter to cheer you
Those you love near you
And all your heart might desire.”

And top o the mornin to you.

Good Morning!

How did that foreigner get mixed in with all of those Michiganders??

Judy, you should know that anyone who enjoys Me-shennanigans is welcome here today.

Happy St. PAtty's Day!! Wearin' greeen?

My underware is green, HA HA

A little laundry detergent will take care of that, John ...

Judy!!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone on this side of the world! Have a great day everyone!

jUDY, your comment to John, I nearly choked on my coffee...

See ya later... Need to go look in my closet for something green to wear!
(But it won't be my undies, John! ...Judy makes fun!)

Jerry's here! I WAS leaving, but ...have to beg a cup of coffee first. Or did you spill it all?

If you're not wearing visible green, Judy will pinch you. If you're wearing green underwear, Judy will pinch you harder.

... and I reserve the best pinch for nuttin' at all!

A repeat, but I like it.

THE PEARLY GATES

Paddy Murphy was sent on his way to Heaven.
Upon his arrival, a concerned St Peter met Paddy at the Pearly Gates.
'I'm sorry Paddy' St Peter said; 'But Heaven is suffering from an overload of goodly souls and we have been forced to put up an Entrance Exam for new arrivals to ease the burden of Heavenly Arrivals.'
'That's all right said Paddy. 'What does the Entrance Exam consist of?'
'Just 3 Questions' said St Peter.
'Which are?' asked Paddy.
St Peter said,
“The first is, which two days of the week start with the letter 'T'?
The second is: How many seconds are there in a year?
The third is: What was the name of the swagman in Waltzing Matilda?”
Now,' said St Peter, 'Go away and think about those questions and when I call upon you, I shall expect you to have those answers for me.'
So Paddy went away and gave those three questions some considerable thought (I expect you to do the same).
The following morning, St Peter called upon Paddy and asked if he had considered the questions, to which Paddy replied, 'I have.'
'Well then, 'said St Peter, 'Which two days of the week start with the letter 'T'?'
Paddy said, 'Today and Tomorrow.'
St. Peter pondered this answer for some time, and decided that indeed the answer can be applied to the question.
'Well then Paddy, could I have your answer to the second of the three questions?' St Peter went on, 'how many seconds in a year?'
Paddy replied, 'Just 12!'

'Only 12?' exclaimed St Peter, 'How did you arrive at that figure Paddy?'
'Easy' said Paddy, 'there's the second of January, the second of February right through to the second of December, giving a total of twelve seconds.'
St Peter looked at Paddy and said, “I need some time to consider your answer before I can give you a decision.” And he walked away shaking his head.
A short time later St Peter returned to Paddy. 'I'll allow the answer to stand Paddy, but you need to get the third and final question absolutely correct to be allowed into Heaven.
So, now Paddy, can you tell me the answer to the name of the swagman in Waltzing Matilda?'
Paddy replied: “Of the three questions, I found this the easiest to answer.”
“Really!” exclaimed St Peter, “And what is the answer, Paddy?”
“It's Andy.” “Andy??” “Yes, Andy”, said Paddy.
This totally floored St Peter, and he paced this way and that, deliberating the answer. Finally, he could not stand the suspense any longer, and turning to Paddy, asked 'Paddy, how in God's name did you arrive at THAT answer?'
'Easy' said Paddy 'Andy sat, Andy watched, Andy waited till his Billy boiled.

AND PADDY ENTERED HEAVEN...

Shiela, Tis a favor ya do us. Your timing was perfect. Ya just got the last cup from a day old pot...

22?

Coffee, corned beef and cabbage today.

First time in quite a while...

Day old, Jerry???
Think I'll have to look for some 'Irish Cream' for the coffee...

Looks like you have the 'Luck O' the Irish' today, Jerry!

Now... off to my closet for something green!

Poor sleep last night. NO! It was not too much Baileys, Jameson Irish Whiskey, or any other such brew. (Maybe that was the problem.)

Shiela, The coffee may be old, but you got a clean cup and a little "sweetner"...

Fresh Pot Help Yourselves.

Top O' The Mornin', everyone!

Why should you never iron a 4-leaf clover? You don't want to press your luck.



Fill it up, Jerry!

1. Other than Ireland, where is Gaelic spoken today?

Shiela, good luck finding something green. I had to really search for a green anything to wear.

Green is not my color, makes me look green.

What colors do you usually wear, Sue?

Rather I should ask what colors do you prefer to wear?

I can wear bluish greens (tea, spruce, seafoam) and cool grayish green (sage). But not kelly and no yellowish greens.
