    Two Irish mothers, Kate and Lorna were talking about their sons.

    Kate says, ‘My Patrick is such a saint. He works hard, doesn’t smoke, and he hasn’t so much as looked at a woman in over two years.’

    Lorna responds, ‘Well, my Francis is a saint himself. Not only hasn’t he not looked at a woman in over three years, but he hasn’t touched a drop of liquor in all that time.’

    ‘My word,’ says Kate, ‘You must be so proud.’

    ‘I am,’ announces Lorna, ‘And when he’s paroled next month, I’m going to throw him a big party.’
