A toast to a bachelor:
"May you have nicer legs than yours under the table before the new spuds are up."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An everyday Irish toast:
"May you have the hindsight to know where you've been,
The foresight to know where you are going,
And the insight to know when you have gone too far."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A toast in Irish:
"'Faol saol agat, gob fliuch, agus bás in Éirinn.'"
Which means "Long life to you, a wet mouth, and death in Ireland."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A St. Patrick's Day toast:
"Saint Patrick was a gentleman,
Who through strategy and stealth,
Drove all the snakes from Ireland,
Here’s a toasting to his health.
But not too many toastings
Lest you lose yourself and then
Forget the good Saint Patrick
And see all those snakes again."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And my personal favorite:
"Sláinte!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Have a good, and safe one everyone.

Sláinte! back at you and have a great SP day.
Your dogs?
In any case, they are a very patient lot. Happy St. Patrick's.
Thank you Sean.
Seana, that they are. They aren't mine. My dogs woud never tolerate something like that, they'd have the costumes off before I could take the picture.
I don't know if you're into this kind of thing, but here's a contest that might get you over to Ireland:

I'm sorry I read this late or I would have had something better to toast on St. Patrick's Day.
Seana, I'm typically not, but I will check it out. Thanks for the heads up.
Gwen, thanks for stopping by. It's good to hear from you.
