Why not try an Irish Coffee for St Patrick’s Day?

Just make a normal coffee, then make sure there’s no snakes in it.

An “Irish Goodbye” is when you quietly leave the party, taking all the snakes with you.
An Irish stew can be made with lamb, mutton or beef, but never snakes.
Irish whiskey is made in the same way as Scotch, except without the snakes.
The Irish language has similarities to other Celtic languages, but has no words for snake.
The “Irish diaspora” worldwide is made up of 80 million people and 200 million snakes
An Irish breakfast is similar to an English breakfast, but with the addition of potato bread, soda bread, white pudding, and without any snakes.
Pleased to announce that I will be representing 200 million descendants of displaced snakes in their class action against the Catholic Church.

@Nickiquote so many snake-free bangers here and I feel compelled to boost every single one
@astronomerritt is that where they hide the snakes in an English breakfast? 🤔
@Nickiquote
@Nickiquote A popular Irish boardgame is "Ladders".
@Nickiquote Wait, that should just be "L". Because St Patrick got rid of the adders.
@theplaguedoc @Nickiquote
Indiana Jones likes holidays in Ireland
@Nickiquote no way that’s only 200 million
@Nickiquote does this make Ireland the safest place to fly?
@publicwondering Certainly for Samuel L Jackson.

@Nickiquote

In Ireland they say "Oh for God sakes!" instead of "Oh for God snakes!" like we do in the rest of Christendom.

@Nickiquote
I nathair believe that one.
@Nickiquote I once got sent to run a pub because of some emergency bankruptcy thing.
There was a bottle of something with a dead lizard flopping around in it behind the bar.
Could never figure out how it gets in there.
@BenCotterill @Nickiquote
It's on the ship they put in the bottle then they burn the ship
@spytfyre @Nickiquote Honestly once had the thought that they perhaps put them in as babies and make them grow in there.
@Nickiquote unless your Yoda, who already sports the ideal colour scheme for today.
@Nickiquote if there are already no snakes at a party, can you still Irish Goodbye? Most parties I go to are sadly snake-free
@Nickiquote for a non alcohol drinker it sounds good. For an alcoholic sound boring, and for a snake lover, we'll., that's just mean xD

@Nickiquote

Because of the way they reproduce, snakes can never give birth to Irish twins...

@Nickiquote In the Irish dub of Toy Story, Woody has a cake in his boot.
@Nickiquote Irish up your dinner by removing the potatoes.

@Nickiquote

In Irish craps, if you roll a pair of ones, it's called ‘eyes’

@Nickiquote instructions unclear, coffee contained snake 2/5⭐

@alice

Are you absolutely sure it wasn't a Slow Worm (as referred to elsewhere)?

@Nickiquote

@ratcatcher it was a big cup of coffee.

@Nickiquote

@alice

That probably just slipped through the filter.

@Nickiquote

@ratcatcher @alice @Nickiquote I think it's the whole machine that slipped through along with the barista.

@Nickiquote There are no snakes in Ireland because they are the principal ingredient of Guinness. The massive production and export business of beer is the only thing that keeps them under control. St Patrick was the original master brewer.
