"Best Husband in the world" week...Wednesday edition.

I love the Irish! Maybe I'm just a U.S. homer, but I don't really care to visit Europe. Oh sure, they've got old buildings, and ancient cathedrals, and history and junk over there that we do not have in the U.S.

But it's "Europe." And I'm just not that much into it... But I think I would like to visit Ireland. I could listen to those micks talk all day and never get tired of the accent. I actually have a little Irish in my blood, and according to The Mrs., plenty of blarney. She must be right. Witness that she said "yes."

And I love American descendants of the Irish. They make wonderful cops, firemen, and tenors. Now, I wouldn't give you a nickel for their food, but I shed a tear every time I hear "Danny Boy." In fact, there is a beautiful rendition of it by Michael Londra (heh! a "mick.") here, complete with gorgeous pictures of Ireland.

But I digress. Ireland's entry came in a strong third place. I can tell how much this mick loves the little gal. Every good husband knows that the wife appreciates the show of affection of holding hands while on an afternoon stroll.

  3. You've got it all wrong here!

    Ireland is so sexual equality that he carries his beer and she carries hers! Plain as the nose on your face, that's it!
