4th September: Toasts

On this date in 1639, the US's first prohibition law, outlawing the drinking of toasts, was passed in Massachusetts. Here are ten things it would have been illegal to say.

A Toast
  1. Here's to staying positive and testing negative.
  2. May the best of our past be the worst of our future.
  3. To our wives and girlfriends. May they never meet.
  4. May we be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows we're dead.
  5. Here’s to those who wish us well, all the rest can go to hell.
  6. May the roof above us never fall in, and may we friends gathered below never fall out.
  7. We don’t always get what we want, we don’t always get what we like, just as long as we don’t get what we deserve.
  8. May all your troubles during the coming year be as short lived as your new year resolutions.
  9. May you live as long as you want to, and want to as long as you live.
  10. To your very good health. May you live to be as old as your jokes.
