So these two Irishmen are sitting in a bar.

Paddy: Hey, Clancy, you're from the auld sod, aren't ya?

Clancy: Why yes, I am Paddy.

Paddy: Where are ya from?

Clancy: Why I am from Dublin.

Paddy: That's funny, so am I. Where did ya grow up?

Clancy: I grew up by St. James Gate.

Paddy: Ain't that something? so did I.

Clancy: I went to St. Mary's School, Paddy. Where did you go to school?

Paddy: I went to St. Mary's me-self. I graduated in 1979.

Clancy: Well, ain't that a hoot? I graduated from St. Mary's in 1979.

The bartender turns to another customer and says, "I see the Murphy Twins are drunk again."

OK, this is cool.

Was on Snopes, so it must be true:

On Wednesday, March 1, 2006, at a hearing on the proposed Constitutional Amendment to prohibit gay marriage, Jamie Raskin, professor of law at AU, was requested to testify.

At the end of his testimony, Republican Senator Nancy Jacobs said: "Mr. Raskin, my Bible says marriage is only between a man and a woman. What do you have to say about that?"

Raskin replied: "Senator, when you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. You did not place your hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible."

The room erupted into applause.
