You're 35% Irish



You're probably less Irish than you think you are...
But you're still more Irish than most.

No chance of being Irish, but then had a crack at the quiz.

You're 40% Irish

You're probably less Irish than you think you are...
But you're still more Irish than most.

(Instructions for the reader of this post. Yah must set your mind to hear this with a brogue from Counties Armaugh and Kilkenny where me great grandparents and me great great grandparents are from)

I sort of fouled up the blog thing. But I took the quiz and it proves beyond the shadow of a doubt I am 75% Irish. By heart of coarse. By blood I am 19% Irish at the very least. So I am not givin yah any blarney if I round it off to one-quarter.

Well, did stretch the sister question a bit. Yah see I have no sisters, but I do have a niece of even greater Irish blood than me named Kathleen and she really was born on the 17th of March. God bless her as it allows me to double me drink orders to honor her as well as Saint Patrick.

You're very Irish, and most likely from Ireland.

Now let all of us get this straight. There are ONLY three kinds of people in this world.

Those who ARE Irish.

Those who WANT to be Irish

And those who SHOULD be Irish.

Period.

(If you want to know who Lowney really was, email me).
