I being part Protestant Irish would not be found dead either in Blue or Green on March 17th. Thanks for posting the Facts about St. Patrick's Day Kathy. Has anyone ever found corned pork?

only thing i like corned
is my corn.

I'M REALLY SORRY, I'M NOT TRYING to be political. But I saw this picture with my ommpa search and thought it was too funny.
