Two on the shelf
Tipple it down and refresh Yourself!
English If I drink too much of your liquor,
And should be foolish enough to get tight,
Would you be a perfect gentleman,
And see that I get home all right?
Anonymous May you have warm words on a cold evening,
A full moon on a dark night,
And the road downhill all the way to your door.
Irish May you have food and raiment,
A soft pillow for your head,
May you be forty years in heaven,
Before the devil knows youre dead!
Irish Dance as if no one were watching,
Sing as if no one were listening,
And live every day as if it were your last.
Irish May you never lie, steal, cheat or drink.
But if you must lie, lie in each others arms.
If you must steal, steal kisses.
If you must cheat, cheat death.
And if you must drink, drink with us, your friends.
Irish May your health be like the capital of Ireland
Always Dublin!
Irish An Irishman is never drunk as
long as He can hold onto one blade of grass and not
Fall off the face of the
earth.
Irish Life, alas,
Is very drear.
Up with the glass,
Down with the beer!
Louis Untermeyer May misfortune follow you the rest of your life,
But never catch up.
Irish
A toast to your coffin:
May it be made of 100-year-old oak.
And may we plant the tree together, tomorrow.
Irish May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
Irish May the leprechauns be near you,
To spread luck along your way,
And may all the Irish angels,
Smile upon you St.

Patricks Day.
Irish May your heart be warm and happy With the lilt of Irish laughter
Every day in every way
And forever and ever after.
Irish Who is a friend but someone to toast,
Someone to give, someone to roast.
My friends are the best friends
Loyal, willing and able.
Now lets get to drinking!
Glasses off the table!
Irish May you live to be a hundred years,
With one extra year to repent!
May your neighbors respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And heavens accept you.
Irish In all this world, why I do think
There are four reasons why we drink:
Good friends,
Good wine,
Lest we be dry
And any other reason why.
Irish Many happy returns of the day of your birth:
Many blessings to brighten your pathway on earth;
Many friendships to cheer and provoke you to mirth:
Many feastings and frolics to add to your girth.
Robert H. Lord A wet night maketh a dry morning,
Quoth Hendyng, Rede ye right;
And the cure most fair is the self-same hair
Of the dog that gave the bite.
Punderson Four and twenty Yankees,
feeling very dry,
Went across the border
to get a drink of rye,
When the rye was opened,
the Yanks began to sing
God bless America,
But God save the King!
Toast from Canada during Prohibition Heres a toast to all those that we love,
Heres a toast to all those that love us,
Heres a toast to all those that love them
that love those that love them that love those that love us.
Anonymous A Tudor who tooted a flute
tried to tutor two tooters to toot.
Said the two to their tutor,
Is it harder to toot
or to tutor two tooters to toot?
Anonymous Tongue Twister

Can you imagine dipping a piece of scorched bread into your Guinness or cabernet to enhance its flavor? The British could, and in the Middle Ages they called this practice toasting. Today, thankfully, a toast is a short cheer to precede a tipple among friends. Below is a collection of cheers from around the world, and I ask that you please put them to good use. Cheers!
