captainsblog* Driving to work this morning and seeing, instead of the usual dog sticking his head out the passenger window, an even bigger-than-usual dog sticking his head out the sun roof;
* Having my 10:00 clients bring me Timmy Ho's coffee for me to guzzle whilst they signed over their lives in my presence;
and, just now,
* Finding a whole stash of old Dave Allen clips on Youtube on this day to honour both his heritage and his favourite hobby.
The ubiquitous opening:
A lead-in of several sketches before the open and one of Dave's patented sitdown-and-Scotch monologues right after it:
I've yet to find one of my all-time top Dave joke, but 'tis fitting for the holiday, so here goes:
A man walks into a bar, but before getting through the door is accosted by an indignant nun.
"Don't ye go in there, my Son! It's a den of iniquity and the demon rum will damn you for all eternity!"
"Sister," he replies with indignity of his own. "Who are you to judge? Have you ever even had a drink?"
She looks at him, shocked at such a suggestion.
"I think you should know of what you speak before passing judgment on passing strangers!"
"All right," she replies. "For the sake of your immortal soul, I'll let the poison pass my lips. Now what would be the most ladylike drink?"
He mulls it for a second. "A whiskey, I think." (Dave probably takes a swig of his own at this point.)
"Fine, then. But bring it out here. In a teacup. I wouldn't want the sisters thinking I'd gone off sinning."
So finally, our hero enters the pub, and tells the barman, "A pint, please, and a whiskey. But put the whiskey in a cup."
The pubman rolls his eyes. "Don't tell me that nun's out there again."
Happy St. Patrick's Day. And may your God go with you.
