OPINION: Time to nurture America’s Irish-inspired sense of humor
It’s always grand in March of every year to pour myself a pint of Guinness and enjoy the glorious Irish wit.
It’s my good fortune to be a fellow of Irish descent. I share my good fortune with a quarter of all Americans, who can trace their heritage to the rolling, green hills of Ireland — including my Uncle Mike, rest his soul, whose grandparents came to America from Ireland.
As a lad, I loved the way he and my father celebrated St. Patrick’s Day: by swapping the same Irish jokes and witticisms that I’ve been retelling for years.
