"DID YOUR FATHER COME FROM IRELAND?"

For Saint Patrick's Day, we've got an Irish TV character to showcase:

MORGAN SYLVESTER O'ROURKE, SR.

Wild Eagle:
Sergeant, what happened to you?
You look terrible. You look bad.
You look like you got one foot in happy hunting ground!

Agarn:
This ain't Sergeant O'Rourke. It's his father.

Wild Eagle:
Your son should look so good.

Sgt. O'Rourke's father came to visit Fort Courage (otherwise known as 'F Troop') when his son was out of town. He soon turned the place into "Little Ireland" and tried to transform the soldiers into a fire brigade.

He also kept pestering Corporal Agarn if he was sure that he wasn't Irish. Finally exasperated, Agarn declared that okay, he was Irish.

"You don't look it," said Mr. O'Rourke.

Sgt. O'Rourke got back just in time to say good-bye to his father as he was about to go home.
Sure, an' BCnU!
