    Being Irish is about driving a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then on your way home, stopping for an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab to sit on a swedish couch and watch USA shows on a Japanese Tv. And most of all being suspicious of anything foreign. Oh and only in Ireland can you get a pizza delivered to your house faster than an Ambulance. Only in Ireland do banks leave both doors open and chain pens to the counter. We might be Irish but by God we're funny :)

    >Also supermarkets make sick people walk to the back of the store for prescriptions while healthy people can buy fags at the front counter

    I think that line there betrays the true origin of the joke.
