If you fart and rift at the same time you'll break your back

If you don't clean out your ears then spuds will grow in them

If you swollow the pips in grapes then a grape tree will grow inside you

Puppies are not just for Christmas..

They had me convinced that I was well off, when We actually lived well below the poverty line.

Educated by Nuns, Snuffy learned the following:

- Never turn your back on God. Result of this was that Snuffy and all the kids in his class used to try and uncomfortably sleep on our backs which was unnatural for us. It was only years later that a kid that was in my class told me that his mother went up to the school to tell the nun to stop telling such things to the kids cos he couldnt sleep and was afraid when going to bed!.....Poor little 5 year olds!

- That if we stole anything our hands would burn in hell!!.....5 years old!

- and on another topic, we were told that there was a famine in Ireland in the mid 1800's when it was really genocide!!.....Apparently they still preach this lie!!

Probably because they were culpable, in that they did the bare minimum or nothing at a hierarchial level to alleviate it. Peasants weren't significant contributors to the churches wealth.

Remember growing up and some of the stuff they taught us which were total lies like st patrick cast the snakes out of ireland
2 shamrock only grows in ireland
3 o connell street the widest street in europe
just a few to get started

_______________

That was awful to tell kids that he cast them out of Ireland when all the teachers knew quite well that he drove them out.

What did St Patrick say when he drove the snakes out of Ireland?
Have you all got enough room down the back.
