Lucky Irish Penny
Posted Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008 by Lizzie |
Legend has it that a penny brings good fortune, and this Irish Luck Penny, encased in Connemara marble, is sure to bring the luck of the Irish. Seems like the marble part would make it hard to "spend", don't you think? Oh, maybe that's the whole idea! You can't accidentally give this out in change, now can you? |

Is this Irish Humor?

These boxer shorts say "Kiss me, I'm Irish!" and you can personalize them with up to 12 characters. I just don't know what to think about these... the embroidery sure is in an interesting place. So get your Irish man this gift and when his friends ask him what he got he will proudly say, "I got a pair of underwear!" |
