Winnie O'Pooh

2003-03-17

Yesterday I went to the Disney store and saw Winnie the Pooh decked out in traditional Irish attire.

"Is this Winnie O'Pooh?" I asked the guy at the register.

"Who is Winnie O'Pooh?"

"It's Winnie the Pooh's Irish cousin who drinks vast alcohol amounts and swears profoundly. He also hates English men." I explained.

The humor in my analogy wasn't shared by the guy. So I took my business else where.

You know, Winnie O'Pooh could be a great mascot for Ireland. Instead of craving for honey he goes looking for Guinness.

All the while doing the jig.
