Text Box: When Irish eyes are smiling
 
  A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while
  they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each 
  child's work. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently,
  she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, "I'm drawing God." 
  The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like." 
  Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl 
  replied, "They will in a minute."
 
     Casey and Riley agreed to settle their dispute by a fight, and it was 
     understood that whoever wanted to quit should say "Enough." Casey 
     got Riley down and was hammering him unmercifully when Riley called 
     out several times, "Enough!" As Casey paid no attention, but kept on 
     administering punishment, a bystander said, "Why don't you let him up?
     Don't you hear him say that he's had enough?" "I do," says Casey, "but
     he's such a liar, you can't believe him.”
 
       In West Kerry, the wife commented, "When we were first married, 
     you took the small piece of steak and gave me the larger. You don't       love me any more...." 
        "Nonsense, darling," replied the husband, "you cook better now."

 
       "Why won't you marry me?" demanded Paddy. "There isn't anyone        else is there?" "Oh, Paddy." Sighed Biddy, "there must be."
 

                Young Paddy  acquired an injury whilst tap dancing. He broke his
      ankle when he fell into the sink.
