Norman: In honor of Saint Patrick's Day, I got out my ukulele!
Ralph: Ukuleles aren't Irish.
Norman: Really?? Next you're going to tell me my bit-o-honey isn't Irish!
Wally: Is Alpo dog food Irish?
Let’s see now. Harp. Check. Artificial shamrock. Check. Erin Go Bragh centerpiece. Check. Irish songs. Check. Corned beef and cabbage. No way. Today’s a Lenten Friday, so fish and chips. Check.
A few years ago I went down to get my lunch at work, the sight of the serving ladies wearing green hat-like things festooned with shamrocks AND large and fluffy green leis festooned with flowers in apparent honour of St Patrick the patron saint of Hawaii put everything else in the entire Universe completely out of mind.It’s silly, but do you know, before this I hadn’t realised that St Patrick was Hawaiian, though, now that that one vital fact has been made clear, it does at last at least partly explain why sheleighly rhymes with ukulele, not to mention that otherwise totally inexplicable order of Hula nuns near Dublin and of course the Hawaiians’ penchant for pork with their pineapple.—http://howlandbolton.com/essays/read_more.php?sid=336
