The Pint About It

An Irish priest and a Rabbi found themselves sharing a compartment on a train. After a while, the priest opened a conversation by saying "I know that, in your religion, you're not supposed to eat pork...Have you actually ever tasted it? The Rabbi said, "I must tell the truth. Yes, I have, on the odd occasion." Then the Rabbi had his turn of interrogation. He asked, "Your religion, too...I know you're supposed to be celibate. But...." The priest replied, "Yes, I know what you're going to ask. I refuse to answer the question." There was silence for a while. Then the Rabbi peeped around the newspaper he was reading and said, "Better than pork, isn't it?"

MICKEY’S GRIPES AND RAMBLINGS
Congratulations to Errick Spada on becoming the first ape to participate in our annual golf tournament. He hit his tee shot 300 yards and hit his second shot 300 yards also. However, the green was only 100 yards away. The process of evolution continues! Our bartender BJ, also a rookie took the points from Errick as he displayed more finesse around the greens.

I bought myself a new scooter for my birthday in August. One Sunday morning as I was riding along Route 109 a truck driver stuck his head out the window and called me an a****le. I don’t know who the hell he was but apparently he knew me very well!

Manny Ramirez wants to get out of Boston. Apparently he requires privacy and anonymity. I have the perfect place for him: Bodyke, County Clare. Nobody will know who he is but the snag is he won’t make a penny for hitting baseballs over there. In American sports the newspapers record whether a team has a winning or losing streak. A team can have a winning streak of one game. In my opinion this is hardly a streak. It would be like saying we have won one consecutive game, one game in a row, nobody has beaten us since two games ago or we have 100% record in our last game.

Jim McCabe, the golf writer for the Boston Globe, is a coward. Most writers have their email addresses at the end of their columns. Jim does not. This prevents people like me from responding to him. He prefers to slag European golfers and hide behind his typewriter. He reminds me of kids, when I was young, who would run out in the street and call you names and then run inside under their mother’s apron. Recently he said that David Tom’s criteria was quite simple in assessing his golf year. I emailed the Boston Globe and asked them to point out to Jim and his copy editor that criteria is a plural. Again I got no response despite my request for one! No satisfaction.
No matter how hard politically correct people try the are going to have a tough job making me sing I’m Dreaming of a White Holiday.

George Best, soccer player from Belfast, was the most gifted athlete I have ever seen in any sport either side of the Atlantic. He enthralled us with his genius in the 60’s and 70’s. He was renowned for running through defenses and scoring goals. He was equally adept, however, at running through bottles of vodka and scoring chicks. He said one time “I spent a lot of money on birds (women), booze and fast cars, the rest I just squandered”. If you have never seen him in action I will gladly put in a tape for you down at the pub over a pint. Thanks to Dan Deshon for the tape. George passed away on November 25th and 100,000 people showed up for his funeral in Belfast. Everybody loved Georgie.

Long Distance Tire in Medway has a sign out front that says It is Time for Winterization. I thought to myself, as I often do, that winterization cannot be a word. I checked my Oxford and American Heritage Dictionaries when I went home and found the word in the latter dictionary. I could not believe it. I hate this bastardization of the English language.

I received an email from a young man in Franklin asking for permission to perform stand up comedy at our Open Mike Night. I told him he was welcome to come down so then he asked me what kind of jokes my customers would like to hear. I then told him that funny ones would be preferable. He thanked me for the advice and we look forward to seeing him in January. His name is Eric Nyberg.
