A
young Irishman, Brian O'Malley, sat inside the pub
of McLarney's Glenn in downtown New York City.
He was drinking Guinness and 'Cut'n D' Blarn' with
the barkeep, Paddy O'Toole.
Another Irishman comes in and sits besides him, "Top
O' Morn!" he greets and hears the lilt between Paddy
and Brian and says, "Laddie! You be Irish too, you
say?"
"Yes I am!" Brain spouts proudly, "Paddy, give us
another round and one for my good friend here - he's
from the mother country as well."
The second man asks, "So Brian, where in the old
country ye from?"
"Dublin!" responds Brian.
"Dublin you say! So am I!" and the second
man hollers for Paddy to bring another round, "..and
shots of your best Irish Poteen, for me and my Irish
friend here."
Afterwards, Brian asks the second from where in
Dublin he grew up, and the second man responds, "I
stropped my britches in the parish of Killinay on
Glenalua Road, in the south of Dublin, I did!"
Brian responded, "Well, I'll be a Connemara
Druid!
That's the same street where I grew up!" and he
yells for Paddy to bring a pair of beers and, "The
finest Irish Whiskey for the pair of us Irishmen!
The phone behind the bar rings and the Paddy
answers. The owner of the pub asks Paddy how is
business and he responds, "Not too bad, the
O'Malley twins are here getting drunk again..."
