The Dinosaurs Were Irish?? Sure’n You Jest!!
“I’ve been thinkin’ about dinosaurs,” said O’Reilly.
“Oh, really,” said O’Toole. “Are ye referring to newspapers, landlines, Facebook, me old Chevy Malibu?? Sure’n you’ll hafta be more precise.”
“Faith, I mean th’ fearsome beasts that roamed the earth before God made leprechauns,” said O’Reilly. “One day they all got caught in a meteor shower and were gone quicker’n Kamala Harris, poor lads.”
“Ah, to be sure, there’s a time for stayin’ indoors,” said O’Toole. “And don’t be callin’ me ‘Faith!’”
“Well, I’m thinkin’ they were Irish,” said O’Reilly. “I’ve read Dinosaurs for Dummies and watched Jurassic Park fifty-seven times, and I’m sure of it.”
“Ah, yer a ludder and an eejit and a cabbage and a plank!” scoffed O’Toole.
“But the names, man!” said O’Reilly. “Think o’ th’ names!!”
“What names??” asked O’Toole.
“They were all O’Sauruses,” said O’Reilly. “Bront O’Saurus, Tyrann O’Saurus, Steg O’Saurus…”
O’Toole slapped his forehead and said some words Saint Patrick would not approve of. “Remind me to be killin’ you later,” he added.

Oh, that’s cute, Mark!! LOL! I had no idea where you were going … and you got me! 🙂
Just last year I saw the word eejit in a book for the first time. It’s a real word! But of course, you know that, because you used it!
I’ll keep this tidbit under my hat for later use (dinosaurs are Irish). I might need it for trivia night at our local pub.

Funny you should mention ‘eejit.’ I decided to google “Irish slang for idiot” at that point in the story, and I was glad I did– they’ve got some good ones, and I used most of ’em!!
As always, great to see you, and thanks a heap!! 🙏😊
