You might be Irish if....
-- Your name is Mary or Patrick and you have at least five siblings.

-- You start preparing for St. Patrick's Day right after Christmas.

-- Your biggest regret about dying is that you won't be able to laugh and drink at your own wake.

-- Your toes start tapping when you hear a fiddle tuning up.

-- You pronounce Siobhan correctly.

-- On Karaoke night, you belt out "Danny Boy." You think you sing it brilliantly.

-- Only your legs move when you dance.

-- You know someone nicknamed "Mac" or "Murph."

-- It's not dinner without potatoes.

-- You've suffered from sun poisoning before ... in February.

-- You not only know what soda bread is, you like it.

-- You think the Boston Celtics are mispronouncing their name.

-- You have "ruler scars" on your hands and knuckles.

-- You have a crucifix dangling from your car mirror to prevent possible car crashes.

-- You correct people that you're not just Irish, you're from County ______.

-- You don't see anything wrong with boiled food.

-- You think the pinnacle of Sean Connery's career was his starring role in "Darby O'Gill and the Little People."

-- You know that hurling is a sport played with a stick, not a bout of illness preceded by too much Guinness. On second thought, you might be Irish if you think the latter definition is a sport, too.
