Luck of the Irish to you! How did that come about anyway? 
Did you wear Green? Good. Since the 18th century on March 17th it was started when the Irish would pick and wear a “clover” on clothing to show their faith in Christianity and with Due time turned into people wearing green clothing. The color green came from the known green pastures and the abundance of green land in Ireland. It’s said that St. Patrick would use the clover to symbolize and to share the faith of the trinity the Father, Son, Holy Spirit. St. Patrick wasn't even Irish he born in Britain in the 5th century and was kidnapped at the age of 16 by Irish traders and spent 6 years in captivity and converted to Christianity. He then became a Christian missionary, and had passed away in March 17th 461. Centuries later he became known as the saint St. Patrick’s.

The big parties and parades that take place actually originated in the United States when in 1840 the potato famine hit Ireland and sent hundreds of thousands of the Irish out and on their way to the eastern United States to settle, putting a lot of their heritage left in Boston, New York and cities throughout. The first recorded St. Patrick ’s Day parade that took place in the U.S was in 1762 New York, the same recorded street that this happened on thousands show up today to celebrate with their green on!

Story line: I need toilet paper
Vote: Truth or BS

Today's story line: I need toilet paper,now!!!

Employee: " Good Afternoon this is Lauren at Mammoth Rental By Owner how can I help you"
Guest: "Hi, I need toilet paper.now”
Employee: "Excuse me?"
Guest: "I am out of toilet paper. I sitting on the toilet and I need some toilet paper, now!!”
Employee: (What? Is this guy kidding me?) “Can I have some information in order to help you?”
Guest: "What do you need to know except for the fact that I need toilet paper!!!” (Guest speaking sternly).
Employee: "Sir, can I have your name and what unit you are in? “
Guest: “John (alias) and I’m in ************” “Just bring me some toilet paper”
Employee: “John, I will have housekeeping bring you some toilet paper as soon as possible.”
Guest “Thanks”
Employee: (trying not to laugh)…….”Your welcome, have a nice day”

Side note: All units come with 4 rolls of toilet paper per bathroom.

Did this guest really use the last roll of toilet paper and then wait till they were sitting on the toilet to request more toilet paper. Was this phone conversation a "Truth or BS?"

Well so many of you have emailed us and sent in your votes on the Truth or BS about "8 of us in a 1 bedroom." The overwhelming number of you voted that this story was true. Well, hold the press the truth about this story is that it was actually.....................TRUE! I hope that next time this renter realizes that a 1 bedroom property that advertises "sleeps 4" means that there are only beds enough for 4 people and no more unless all the people in the party want to be particularly cozy and close, lol!
