Hello, Saint Patrick! You know, when I was just a little Catholic
browneyed-girl, I went to a school named after you. It's true!!

Well, technically they don't mean the same thing because one phrase
implies a greater probability that whatever it is won't happen. But
either way, it's all just chance anyway.

Does this answer qualify me as a "really smart person"? I'd like to
know, especially since you're a Saint and all... and the fact that I'm
not Catholic anymore shouldn't influence your decision in any way!!

Borrow your mom's dictionary and look up the word "irony"...and then
look up "sarcasm".

Pardon me; I've swallowed my tongue.

This post reflects the spirit and historical significance of the collected
works of William Shakespeare, H.G. Wells, Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, and
Jack London, although some dramatic license has been taken.
