This advertisement dates back to the 1930's, but its message still hits the spot -- much as a creamy pint of Guinness quenches one's thirst during the St. Patrick's Day season.

I've got some interesting tidbits coming the next few days on the Irish, the origin of the leprechaun and St. Patrick's Day... so be sure to check back.

But for the moment enjoy some Irish levity and humor here.
