Whistle playing increases longevity. Scientists today announced that Irish Penny Whistle playing increases life expectancy by 15%. Studies have shown that whistle playing improves chest muscle tone which in turn increases lung capacity. Increased lung capacity is directly tied to more efficent cellular respiration and reduces the likelihood of plaque build-up in both cardiovascular tissue and vascular tissue of the brain. There is some reason to believe this may also be true for Great Highland Bagpipe players too. There was no explanation given as to why only these two instruments are beneficial. (reported from "The Leech")

John McCain's love child works for the Israeli Secret Service and was expelled from the US for spying on our military.

"Unnamed sources have revealed Barack Obama is of Irish descent. The family name was originally spelled O'Bama. Requests for information from the Obama camp have gone unanswered."

That would properly be spelled "Ó Bádhmagh".

Ó Bámdhmagh? of the Armagh Ó Bádhmaghs? That used to be Úi Bádhmuigh? Sure I knew them well! Always were a bit sallow. Not uncommon in South Armargh. Them uns hardly know what soap is.

There's a sept of them called "Balmer" now. One of my cousins married into them, but she and her man had a falling out. She lives down Hillsborough way.

howzabout:

"Ann Coulter gets high from handling avodart"

"Ann Coulter was rushed to the ER to have to have a lightbulb removed from an undisclosed orifrice"

"Mrs John McCain has an oxycontin addiction"

"Joe Lieberman and John McCain are lovers"

ONE of these is certain to make the rounds....

Why in God's name do people put light bulbs in their holes? Don't people realize that lightbulbs are FRAGILE?

WELL sure they're fragile , if you try to pull them out from the botton:
BUT, if pushing down from the top, the ordinary incandescent can withstand plenty of pressure.
Check your pm's

I don't have any PMs.

I don't see how people fit light bulbs up their noses, at any rate.
