There are only 2 things to worry about
Either you are well or you are ill

If you are well
Then there is nothing to worry about.

If you are sick
Then there 2 things to worry about.

Either you will get well
or you will die.

If you get well there is nothing to worry about
If you die there are 2 things to worry about
Either you will go to heaven or hell.

If you go to heaven there is nothing to worry about
But if you go to hell, you'll be so busy shaking
hands with all your friends, you'll have no time to worry.

Stevie.

Speedie,

With such pow'r in your smile,
Sure a stone you'd beguile,

So in the keepin' of the topic here,
In the lilt of Irish laughter...

One for one yer on. smile


"It was Paddy and Seamus giving the motorcycle a ride on a brisk autumn day. After a wee bit, Paddy who was sitt'n behind Seamus on the bike began to holler ..."Seamus ... Seamus ... the wind is cutt'n me chest out!"

"Well, Paddy my lad," said Seamus, "why don't you take your jacket off and turn it from front to back ... that'll block the wind for you."

So Paddy took Seamus' advice and turned his jacket from front to back and got back on the bike and the two of them were off down the road again. After a bit, Seamus turned to talk to Paddy and was horrified to see that Paddy was not there. Seamus immediately turned the bike around and retraced their route. When after a short time he came to a turn and saw a bunch of farmers standing around Paddy who was sitting on the ground.

"T'anks be to heaven, is he alright?" Seamus hailed to the farmers.
"Well," said one of the farmers, " he was alright when we found him here .. but since we turned his head back to front .. he hasn't said a word since!"

Sometimes it seems the Stories and Jokes of Days gone by could
do with a bit of revision as well as the combining of.
So from one who is Irish to another one Irish, what say we
give this story, only with a bit of a name change.
Just to make it more so shall we say, modern?
{Might want to set yer drink down first
as I don't want for chockin' from laughin' too heartily to be a
factor as I am a tellin' you this story.}


"It was ~*Thunderous MidNight*~ and SPEEDIE giving his black and silver Triumph Speedmaster named Matilda's Bane a ride on a brisk autumn day. After a wee bit, ~*Thunderous MidNight*~ who was sitt'n behind Speedie on the Triumph Speedmaster began to holler ..."Speedie ... Speedie ... the wind is cutt'n me chest out!"

"Well, ~*Thunderous MidNight*~ lassie," said Speedie, "why don't you take your jacket off and turn it from front to back ... that'll block the wind for you."

So ~*Thunderous MidNight*~ took Speedies' advice and turned her jacket from front to back and got back on the Triumph Speedmaster and the two of them were off down the road again. After a bit, Speedie turned to talk to ~*Thunderous MidNight*~ and was horrified to see that ~*Thunderous MidNight*~ was not there. Speedie immediately turned the Triumph Speedmaster around and retraced their route. When after a short time he came to a turn and saw a bunch of ZONERS standing around ~*Thunderous MidNight*~ who was sitting on the ground.

"T'anks be to heaven, is she alright?" Speedie hailed to the Zoners.
"Well," said one of the Zoners, his name by the way, ITERNITY, well, says he, "she was alright when we found her here .. but since we turned her head back to front .. she hasn't said a word since!"
{Can ye imagine, so very, very, VERY quiet like!
Personally I can hardly imagine such stillness.smile}

So then says Speedie with his biker's helmet held in hand,
Head with a bit of a bow and words more so said as a prayer...

Well ye know, If you go to heaven ~*Thunderous MidNight*~ lassie there is nothing to worry about
But if you go to hell, you'll be so busy shaking
hands with all your friends, you'll have no time to worry.

Well it just seemed Iternity that with your alreadied having made comment under this Board that it was simply the thing to do. Personally I am pleased that you are glad to have been included. Your character portrayal in the Story shows you to be one of strength, true with more than a might bit misplaced is this strength, yet strength certainly prevailing.

In closing, what it is though that I am in particular so pleased with is that we as persons, where we as a part of a Global Community can come here and rally 'round about, recalling Stories and the like of Ireland, that beautiful Isle...you Iternity and Speedie are fortunate for close by to Ireland you reside...for me it is as though only in a dream that to the Isle journey venture I make. It is my lot that really no one have I here in America to tell me of Ireland. Oh yes, there are books and the like, it is just first hand knowledge I find so much more attractive. Thanks fellows.

I wouldn't have an eejit who ridicules the Irish Famine, within spitting distance of my wonderful machine.

And you should know your not required to wear a helmet on a trike.
