A lot of carrot-tops and gingers can trace their roots to Ireland.

I got a Mr. Potato Head toy for Christmas around 1954, and my little brother and I had a ball with it. The pieces had to have sharp edges to stick in a real potato, so the government made them change in 1964 and add a plastic potato body to the kit so the dull pieces could be attached. Today’s kids are a bunch of wimps. :·)

When you say something unspeakable is “not funny”, you deprive yourself of the best way of coping with it. Clark, go read Swift’s “A Modest Proposal”.

Mel Brooks said that comedy is when someone falls into an open manhole, tragedy is when I stub my toe.
Me, I think comedy is when the FOX News Channel All-Stars and their big-business-funded interest groups spin some of the wildest conspiracy theories on Earth as “news” - tragedy is the tea party people that fall for it.

I’m 100% Irish and I love it.
I’d always thought that being Irish gave you the best defensive system in life – the ability to laugh at the world, the ability to laugh at oneself and the ability to laugh at death.
For if you bear the weight of all the horrors of this life, you will most certainly be crushed by it.

If you don’t laugh in the face of tragedy, it will control you.
