An old man lived alone in Ireland. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, Paddy, who used to help him, was in gaol. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament. Dear Paddy, I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my potato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the lot for me. Love Da A few days later he received a letter from his son. Dear Da, For the love of Jayzus, Da, don’t dig up that garden, that’s where I buried the bodies! Love Paddy At 4 the next morning, the Gardaí showed up and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son. Dear Da, Go ahead and plant your praties now. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances. Love Paddy
Maybe use one of those plastic ice trays that come with refrigerators nowadays. And Vadge, that vixen! Who knew? Here she was taking erotic calls while eating a popsicle!
the name spud came from Ireland and was the name of the wood stick that was used to poke a hole in the ground to plant your potato in.it may have given the spud wrench its name, witch iron workers use to align up the holes in steel beams before riveting or bolting two steel beams together.
My wife has a spinal cord injury that she has had for 12 years. Her spine has deteriorated and she is looking at an injection next week. She asked her neurologist about the meningitis outbreak. He said that he is so confident of it that he would eat it himself, which I thought was an odd reply. I think she should have said, “Okay, go ahead and eat it.”
I hadn’t heard that but…When the Jyllands-Posten cartoon controversy hit the news I was struck by how mild those cartoons were compared to many truly vile ones elsewhere on the web. I think I’ll go along with Rushdie on this one and say that a certain amount of this indignation is being contrived.
States affected by meningitis outbreak on the Blog: Technically Kentucky was probably the very first state affected because it appears that one of its circuit judges was the first patient to die after he was given 3 steroid injections in a Nashville clinic.

I think today’s strip refers to B. Kliban, who is most certainly going to Hell for his irreverence. I can’t wait to meet him.

Some people claiming to be religious just can’t seem to be happy with leading their life as they choose and allowing others to do the same.

A religion has to have a governing body, otherwise it’s a philosophy.
