I had a chance to kiss the Blarney Stone when we visited Ireland over a decade ago. I took a pass. There was no way that I was going to plant my lips where millions of other lips have been! YUCK!
Tourists visiting the Blarney Stone, circa 1897.
Note the fellow going down on his knees to kiss the stone,
and his wife holding on to the waistband of his pants!
Hahahahaaa!!
ReplyDeleteGaud! Now This is just Funny, Girl!!
Don't think I've ever heard of Anyone refusing to kiss that stone!Hahaaaa...Smart decision though...
hughugs
You are a riot! Now I'd never have thought not to do such a disgusting thing. =D Some things never change...the lady holding onto her hubby's waistband to keep him from toppling over. I performed that task the day before yesterday when John went a little wide on me. Too funny.
ReplyDeleteThe closest I'll come to kissing the Blarney stone will be a reading challenge. But that is funny. You could have used a chlorox wipe and cleaned the stone first. or put a guard on your lips. Happy St. Patricks Day.
ReplyDeleteha ha. i think i'd have passed as well!
ReplyDeleteLove that picture! I think if I'm ever there, I'll have to kiss the stone... in honor of my Irish ancestors. I will have some disinfectant/antibacterial soap with me though! Lol!
ReplyDeleteI would have done it and then viciously cleaned my mouth LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Patrick's Day!
I don't blame you, I wouldn't have kissed it either :)
ReplyDeleteHappy St Patrick's day
Ew! I wouldn't have either! Gross!!
ReplyDeleteHi Donna, Just visiting Ireland would be a huge treat... I wouldn't kiss the Blarney Stone either--but I'd love to just SEE it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you all had a great St. Patrick's Day.

I've kissed that stone twice, Donna! It sure was an experience to bend over backward and smack that cold stone in the wall..lol--who thought that legend up, anyway?
ReplyDeleteThis is a funny photo. I wouldn't kiss it either. Gross. Pamela
ReplyDeleteIf I kissed that stone, IT would start talking.
