Being Irish is about driving in a German car to an Scottish pub for a

Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or

Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American

shows on a Japanese TV.

And the most Irish thing of all? Suspicion of all things foreign!

Only in Norn Iron can a pizza get to your house faster than an

ambulance.

Only in Norn Iron do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to

the back of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy

cigarettes at the front.

Only in Norn Iron do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries and

a DIET coke.

Only in Norn Iron do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to

the counters.

Only in Norn Iron do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the

drive and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.

Only in Norn Iron do we use answering machines to screen calls and then

have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to

talk to in the first place.

Only in Norn Iron are there disabled parking places in front of a

skating rink.

NOT TO MENTION..

3 irish ppl die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue.

142 irish ppl were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins from new

shirts.

58 irish ppl are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of

screwdrivers.

31 irish ppl have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while

the fairy lights were plugged in.

19 irish ppl have died in the last 3 years believing that Christmas

decorations were chocolate.

irish Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after Xmas

cracker-pulling accidents.

18 irish ppl had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a lit

cigarette in their mouth.

A massive 543 irish ppl were admitted to A&E in the last two years after

trying to open bottles of beer with their teeth.

5 irish ppl were injured last year in accidents involving out-of-control

Scalextric cars.

and finally...

In 2000 eight irish ppl were admitted to hospital with fractured skulls

incurred whilst throwing up into the toilet.
