BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Beer & Brewing Got any good toasts?

Hey, Raleigh, I found these on the web - they may be the eagle toasts you talked about-
Said the senator from Illinois:
"Here's to the American eagle, A great and glorious bird, That in Ohio - dropped a terd."

Answered the senator from Ohio:
"Here's to the state of Ohio, Who's soil is fertile and rich, Which needs no terd from your old bird, You red-headed son-of-a-b_tch!"

The delegate from Iowa replied:
"Here's to the State of Iowa, Whose soil is exceedingly rich: It needs no terd from a bald-headed bird, Or a red-headed son of a b_tch."

At a gathering of US governors, the New Yorker stood up and made a toast:
"Here's to the American Eagle...with wings so mighty and great...he flies up high, way in the sky...and sh--s on the Lone Star State."

Then it came the Texan's turn to toast:
"Here's to the State of Texas...with land so fertile and rich...we don't need no terds from your high flyin' birds...you yankee son-uv-a-b_tch."

Three more for the holidays:

Here's to a friend, he knows you well...
And likes you just the same!
************
Here's to your health!
You make age curious,
Time furious,
And the rest of us envious!
************
Here's to every man here,
May he be what he thinks himself to be.

Here's one for those who drink alone:

Bah, Humbugh!

May you never forget
What is worth remembering
Or remember
What is best forgotten.

And something wet in every cup. (Irish)

Here's to our wives and girlfriends:
May they never meet!

Here's to you and yours
And to mine and ours.
And if mine and ours
Ever come across to you and yours,
I hope you and yours will do
As much for mine and ours
As mine and ours have done
For you and yours!

The Lord gives our relatives,
Thank God we can choose our friends.
