Well it seems it is pick on the Irish time again. I often wonder why the poor Irish are usually made out to be so dumb. I mean I am sure it isn’t true yet for some reason they seem to be portrayed in this manner. I just want to know who started it all and for what reason, so if anyone knows the answer to this I would be really interested. Leave a comment, don’t be shy as bloggers do not bite.

It all began when an Irishman was having coffee and croissants with butter and jam in a cafe
when an English tourist, chewing gum, sat down next to him. The Irishman
politely ignored the Englishman, who, nevertheless, started up a
conversation. The Englishman snapped his gum and asked, “Do you Irish people
eat the whole bread?” The Irishman frowned, annoyed with being bothered
during his breakfast, and replied, “Of course.” The Englishman blew a huge
bubble. “We don’t. In England, we only eat what’s inside. We collect the
crusts in a container, recycle them, transform them into croissants and sell
them to Ireland.” The Englishman had a smirk on his face. The Irishman
listened in silence. The Englishman persisted. “Do you eat jam with the
bread?” Sighing, the Irishman replied, “Of course.” Cracking his gum between
his teeth, the Englishman said, “We don’t. In England, we eat fresh fruit
for breakfast, then we put all the peels, seeds, and leftovers in
containers, recycle them, transform them into jam and sell it to Ireland.”
The Irishman then asked, “Do you have sex in England?”
The Englishman smiled and said, “Why of course we do.”
The Irishman leaned closer to him and asked,
“And what do you do with the condoms once you’ve used them?”
“We throw them away, of course,” replied the Englishman.
Now it was the Irishman’s turn to smile.
“We don’t. In Ireland, we put them in a container, recycle them, melt them
down into chewing gum and sell them to England.
Why do you think it’s called ‘Wrigley’s’?”
