What the hell's a shamrock? A rock that tries to sell you a bridge? Hee hee!
Hey, bailey. Your damn London bridge is languishing somewhere in America.
bailiwick---a place where the Irish go to light a candle at both ends...only redeemable through redemption of coupons at Wall Mart.
Oh my word! You all are hysterically gifted! I shall have to sit in my corner and think, think, think to come up with anything good...

How about Pooh Syndrome: The belief that although one is reasonably intelligent that they are not so at all.
Or Piglet...no, that's agoraphobia: fear of everything!
Hee Hee! Great, Dev.
The Delsey syndrome. There's a definite difference in Devie; your family will know right away. On the road to recovery along with Willie and pooh.

ahhhhhh, Bo. We're gots life and we gots mission...On the road to safe perdition.

Then there is the law of diminishing returns; where no matter how many crumbs you drop when you go out wandering, you can never find your way home.
The 'elsewhere syndrome'!
