When Irishmen see my last name, they tend to beat me with Shillelaghs.
But I’m Irish as Guinness a faux Irish pub in Canada. All four Two of my grandparents immigrated from Ireland.
(My Mom corrected me on this. Dad’s parents were born in Canada. His grandmother was French Canadian. Her parents came from Ireland.)

I had no idea that was really the true meaning of Shillelagh! Don’t tell Sandy though!
