I was astounded to overhear these things in only two different bars last night. I won’t name the bars, for fear it would damage their reputation that such smart and attentive people are patrons.

Top 10 Worst Things Overheard on St. Patrick’s Day

1. Hey, does that green beer taste like mint? (Not the best pickup line ever dude)
2. How do you think they turn the beer green? (Well, see, this here is the magical work of Leprechauns)
3. Do they brew it green like that? (Why yes, it’s brewed from green grains)
4. I believe St. Patrick brewed the first green beer. (Yes, he must have, otherwise why would we drink it?)
5. This is weird, this [green] beer tastes just like PBR. (Well, that’s just wrong, it’s obviously Bud Light)
6. The non sequitur – The beer is green, because there are no snakes in Ireland. (No need for a comment)
7. Kiss me…I’m not really Irish, but I love the Irish. (He then proceeded to hold up a green beer as some kind of evidence of his love for the Irish)
8. The only time of year I ever drink green beer is on St. Patrick’s Day. (Really?)
9. Is this [green] beer imported from Ireland like Guinness is? (No, this special beer comes all the way from St. Louis)
10. I’m a Bud Light man, I don’t really like the taste of green beer. (Um, excuse me sir, that green beer you’re holding is Bud Light with tasteless, odorless food coloring in it)

Prost,
