Friends as we approach St. Patrick’s Day we must remember another St. Patrick...St. Patrick Connors a saint like no other. One who sacrificed so much so others could enjoy life.
One such story in the legend of St. Patrick Connors happened many months ago in ..Dublin, it was an ordinary day at the Guinness factory when suddenly and with out warning several of the storage tanks at the factory burst open causing 356,000 gallons of the nectar to spill and cause a massive flood. One that could swallow the entire mighty metropolis in a flash, people began to evacuate the city in droves and all thought to be safe…except poor Timmy from the orphanage was accidentally left behind in the rush because he went to look for his puppy "Patches".
All looked dim for Timmy as the wave of 356,000,000 gallons of Guinness was about to engulf the poor orphan- When suddenly He appeared......St. Patrick Connors!
He stood between the boy, his puppy and the sinister wave of Guinness. Lifted his pious arms to the heavens, drew a breath and drank the entire killer tsunami sized 356,000,000,000 gallons of Guinness single handedly and saved the city of Dublin.
The city cheered and gave him the key to the city, which he used to go to the bathroom (avoiding another disaster) and was not seen for three days.
When you have a pint this weekend think of the sacrifice of St. Patrick Connors.
