When I was in high school, the bio teacher, who was an English woman, told an Irish joke in class. There were six girls in my class with Irish surnames. It was a stupid, mean thoughtless thing to do.

I found a St. Patrick's Day card that declared the recipient an "Honorary Irishman" because he or she had, "Courage, wit, humor and just a bit of blarney." The bio teacher had none of these qualities, but I bought the card for her and had most of the class sign it.

A couple of girls tried to stop me from giving it to her FOR FEAR OF HURTING HER FEELINGS.

I've been watching some British sitcom that stars Ian McKellan and Derek Jacoby as a gay couple. Talk about sticky! Also predictable, with plots straight out of "I Love Lucy". How can the BBC waste two good actors like that?
