#1 Shure this is the greatest drama at Guinness since Shamus had his accident.

Brenda OMalley is home making dinner, as usual, when Tim Finnegan arrives at her door. Brenda, may I come in? he asks. Ive somethin to tell ya.
Of course you can come in, youre always welcome, Tim. But wheres my husband?
Thats what Im here to be telling ya, Brenda. There was an accident down at the Guinness brewery
Oh, God no! cries Brenda Please dont tell me!
I must, Brenda Your husband Shamus is dead and gone. Im sorry.
Finally, she looked up at Tim - How did it happen, Tim?
It was terrible, Brenda He fell into a vat of Guinness Stout, and drowned.
Oh my dear Jesus! But you must tell me true, Tim, did he at least go quickly?
Well, Brenda, no. In fact, he got out three times to pee.

#5 I'm reminded of the old joke about how Guinness was invented to keep the Irish from conquering the world. I'm going to stock up on ammo just in case.

#6 Ima good on ammo, Snowy. I need to stockpile on Guinness, or I need to dust off my home brew stout recipe from my late friend from Ester, Alaska (near Fairbanks, who made great stout, and died in the J.C. Penney parking lot from a heart attack when listening to a Fairbanks Gold Panner's baseball game.
