John O'Reilly hoisted his beer and said, 'Here's to spending the rest of me
life, between the legs of me wife!' That won him the top prize at the pub for the best toast of the night!
He went home and told his wife, Mary, 'I won the prize for the Best toast
of the night'. She said, 'Aye, did ye now. And what was your toast? John
said,
'Here's to spending the rest of me life, sitting in church beside me wife.'
'Oh, that is very nice indeed, John!' Mary said. The next day, Mary ran into
one of John's drinking buddies on the street corner. The man chuckled
leeringly and said, 'John won the prize last nigh t at the pub with a toast
about
you, Mary.'
She said, 'Aye, he told me, and I was a bit surprised myself. You know, he's only been there twice in the last four years.... Once he fell asleep, and the other time I had to pull him by the ears to make him come.'
