My mother brought me a set of two coasters from Ireland with (supposedly) the family coat of arms on it. According to what it says on the back of the package, the family motto is Lamh ladir an uachdar, which is translated as "The strong hand uppermost." You're telling me. Right underneath that it reads: "heat resistant, wipe clean, do not immerse in water." Guess the blood lines haven't bred completely true.
Coasters? To keep the furniture I mostly acquire at the dump from getting beer bottle rings on it? I'll never forget the time she gave me a makeup case and a girdle. You want to buy me a present, try a pack and a six-pack.

You not only made me laugh, you made one of the funniest people on the planet laugh, Patricia. She says the instrucitons on the coaster are the same that are given to new Irish mothers taking their babies home from the hospital: wipe clean and do not immerse in water.
Patricia is half Irish, and even better, half Puerto Rican.

You and Patricia have a little to drink last night?
Actually, we were talking on the phone...imagine the response you would have gotten if we were together!
