Mrs. Donovan was walking down O'Connell Street in Dublin when she met up with Father McNamara.
The Father said, 'Top o' the mornin' to ye! Aren't ye Mrs. Donovan and didn't I marry ye and yer husband two years ago?'
She replied, 'Aye, that ye did, Father.'
The Father asked, 'And be there any wee little ones yet?'
She replied, 'No, not yet, Father.'
The Father said, 'Well now, I'm going to Rome next week and I'll light a candle for ye and yer husband.'
She replied, 'Oh, thank ye, Father.'
They then parted ways.
Some years later they met again.
The Father asked, 'Well now, Mrs. Donovan, how are ye these days?'
She replied, 'Oh, very well, Father!'
The Father asked, 'And tell me, have ye any wee ones yet?'
She replied, 'Oh yes, Father! Three sets of twins and 4 singles, 10 in all!'
The Father said, 'That's wonderful! How is yer loving husband doing?'
She replied, 'E's gone to Rome to blow out yer candle.'
Ummmm, I think Subvet can relate....... ;-)

Every time I light my scented candle I am going to think of this!!
Love it Sarah...I might just steal it... ;-)
BTW...I just caught your comment about ugly old men with beards...Hey! :-)
the Irish jokes are the best! I love it. I am so sorry, Sarah. I have just not been getting around to my friends like I used to. It seems like ever since I had the flu, I've been a day late and a dollar short. Can't seem to catch up. I'll try to do better. Missed Thesaurus Thursday entirely, this week.
God bless you and your family
Nancy
