Two Irishmen, Patrick Murphy and Shawn O'Brian grew up together and were lifelong friends.

But alas, Patrick developed cancer, and was dying. While on his deathbed, Patrick called to

his buddy, Shawn, "O'Brian, come 'ere. I 'ave a request for ye." Shawn walked to his

friend's bedside and kneels.

"Shawny ole boy, we've been friends all our lives, and now I'm leaving 'ere. I 'ave one last

request fir ye to do."

O'Brian burst into tears, "Anything Patrick, anything ye wish. It's done."

"Well, under me bed is a box containing a bottle of the finest whiskey in all of Ireland.

Bottled the year I was born it was. After I die, and they plant me in the ground, I want you

to pour that fine whiskey over me grave so it might soak into me bones and I'll be able to

enjoy it for all eternity."

O'Brian was overcome by the beauty and in the true Irish spirit of his friend's request, he

asked, "Aye, tis a fine thing you ask of me, and I will pour the whiskey. But, might I

strain it through me kidneys first?"
