Pray for potatoes with a hoe in your hand. - Irish proverb

An Irish goodbye is a slang term that refers to the practice of inconspicuously leaving a place where one has gathered with friends (usually for quite some time) without ever formally announcing that one is leaving. It is a decision undertaken not for any emotional reasons, but solely as a matter of convenience. The Irish goodbye allows a person to disappear from a function with the utmost expediency without spending extra time on "thank-yous" etc. (hacked up from Wikipedia)
