St. Patrick's Day arrives Tuesday (March 17).
Originally a Catholic feast day, it has become an occasion in which people all over the world celebrate Irish culture, be it literature, music or, of course, the country's famous pints.
One great thing about Irish culture is its wit and humour. Some wonderful, hilarious and, in some cases, dark jokes have come out of the Emerald Isle, and they provide plenty of material for friends to laugh at over a pint of Guinness.
Here are some Irish jokes you and your mates can tell each other for St. Patrick's Day.

In life, there are only two things to worry about. Whether you'll live or you'll die.
If you live, there is nothing to worry about.
If you die, there are two things to worry about: whether you'll go to Heaven or Hell.
If you go to Heaven, there is nothing to worry about.
If you go to Hell, you'll be shaking hands with so many friends you won't have time to worry.
