When Irish Eyes Are Smiling

When Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure it's like a morn in Spring.
In the lilt of Irish laughter,
You can hear the angels sing!

When Irish eyes are happy,
All the world seems bright and gay,
And when Irish eyes are smiling,
Sure they steal your heart away

Subject: Prayer Wheel for our Deployed Troops



Prayer wheel for our soldiers...please don't break it

      Please send this on after a short prayer.

      Prayer wheel for our soldiers...please don't break it

      Prayer Wheel

      "God, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they
      protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts
they
      perform for us in our time of need. Amen.

      Prayer Wheel: When you receive this, please stop for a moment and
      say  a prayer for our troops in Afghanistan, and around the world.

      There is nothing attached.... This can be very powerful.... Just
send this
       to all the people in your address book. Do not stop the wheel,
please....

      Of all the gifts you could give a US Soldier, Sailor, Airman,
Marine &
      others deployed in harm's way, Prayer is the very best one.

Subj: Fw: inspection team

> Inspection Teams
>
> Have you noticed anything fishy about the inspection teams who have
arrived in Iraq? They're all men!
>
> How in the name of the United Nations does anyone expect men to find
Saddam's stash? We all know that men are completely blind when it comes to
finding things. For crying out loud! Men can't find the dirty clothes
hamper...Men can't find their own sock drawer... Men can't find the jar of
jelly until it falls out of the cupboard and splatters on the floor.... and
these are the people we have sent into Iraq to search for hidden weapons of
mass destruction? Come on!
>
> I keep wondering why troops of mothers weren't sent in. Mothers can sniff
out secrets quicker than a drug dog can find a one-gram stash. Mothers can
find gin bottles that dads have stashed in the attic beneath the rafters.
They can sniff out a diary two rooms and one floor away. They can tell when
the lid of a cookie jar has been disturbed and they notice when a quarter
inch slice has been shaved off a chocolate cake. A mother can smell alcohol
on your breath before you get your key in the front door and smells
cigarette smoke from a block away. By examining laundry, mothers know more
about their kids than Sherlock Holmes could deduce. And if a mother wants an
answer to question, she can read an offender's eyes quicker than a homicide
detective.
>
> So--considering the value a mother could bring to an inspection team, why
are we sending a bunch of old men who will have to rely on electronic
equipment to scout out hidden threats?
>
> My mother would walk in with a wooden soup spoon in one hand, grab Saddam
by the ear, give it a good twist and snap, "Young man, do you have any
weapons of mass destruction?" And God help him if he tried to lie to her.
She'd march him down the street to some secret bunker and shove his nose
into a nuclear bomb and say, "Uh, huh, and what do you call this, mister?"
Whap! Thump! Whap! Whap! Whap! And she'd lay some stripes across his bare
bottom with that soup spoon, then march him home in front of all Baghdad.
He'd not only come clean and apologize for lying about it, he'd cut every
lawn in Baghdad for free for the whole damn summer.

> Inspectors my ass... You want the job done? Call my mother
