The Old Paddywhack

If one could only teach the English how to talk and the Irish how to listen, society…would be quite civilized. —Oscar Wilde

If there were only three Irishmen in the world you'd find two of them in a corner talking about the other. —María Brandán Aráoz

He was stooped by a crick in his back.

With a Guinness in hand,

He stood—toasting the band.

And his crick was then crack’d by good craic.
