An
Irish priest is driving down to New York and gets stopped
for speeding in Connecticut. The state trooper smells alcohol
on the priest's breath and then sees an empty wine bottle
on the floor of the car. He says, "Sir, have you been

"Just water," says the priest. The trooper says,
"Then why do I smell wine?"
The priest looks at the bottle and says, "Good Lord!
He's done it again!"
Yup. Barack Obama, 44th President of the good old
USA is as Irish as Bono. His great-great-grandfather came from Moneygall

Irish!
So get practising! To help you out, here's the words
