Ouch. IN my day, the Irish handshake, as offered by my grandfather, was a shake of the hand with some of the folding green tucked inside. My grandfather would shake my hand, advise me to "go get a cigar" and when i withdrew my palm would be gladdened with the presence of a fin. Hence the term "Irish handshake" as a means of tendering a few bucks without the world taking notice. He also would have killed me if I had actually bought a cigar.

These urban dictionary definitions are not the work of a soul with a drop of Erie in them.

And there a lot of drops in Lake Erie. As a grandson of a Dubliner right off the boat, it would be fookin' Eire laddy

We're paid approximately monthly on a Wednesday including games through the preceding Saturday.

I much prefer that to getting a check at each game that I have to keep up with. I'd collect them for 3-4 weeks then take them to the bank once a month anyway so having it come in one check in the mail just makes it easier.

I once got a check on Bastille Day for a game that I worked in December. I had completely forgotten about it. I used it toward the purchase of a new lawnmower.
