** Road Blessings **
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine down upon your face.
And the rain fall soft upon your fields.
Until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
** Drinking Toast **
- May your glass be ever full.
- May the roof over your head be always strong.
- And may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.
- A bird with one wing can't fly. ( said to encourage someone to take a second drink)
** Alternative Toast **
- Here's to our wives and girlfriends; May they never meet!
- May the dust of your carriage wheels blind the eyes of your foes.
- May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live.
- May your fire never go out.
- May your well never run dry.
- May we be alive at this time next year.
- May the roof above you never fall in and those gathered beneath it never fall out.
- May the hinges of our friendship never grow rusty.
** Irish Explanation **
Siobhan
followed her husband to the public house, "How can you come here," she
said, taking a sip of his pint of Guinness, "and drink this awful
stuff?"
"Now!" he cried, "And you always thought I was out enjoying myself."
