THE MORMON AND THE IRISHMAN...
THE MORMON AND THE IRISHMAN...
A Mormon was seated next to an Irishman on a flight from London .....
After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken.
The Irishman asked for a whiskey, which was promptly brought and placed before him.
The flight attendant then asked the Mormon if he would like a drink.
He replied in disgust,"I'd rather be savagely raped by a dozen whores than let liquor touch my lips."
The Irishman then handed his drink back to the flight attendant and said,
"Me, too, I didn't know we had a choice."

Well..no love for the Irish, TS? I do take offense!  LOL Funny joke. Personally, I feel that anyone who makes fun of the Irish and is not one of us...is just jealous! You know what THEY say...there are those that ARE Irish and those that wish they were!!! LOL

I'm of Scots ancestry - Dad was Clan Hay and Mom was Clan Murray - any Celtic lineage is fine with me...it's those effin' Anglo-Saxons I have issues with. 
And, yes, I'll drink to that...

You and me both, brother. Irish and Scots-Irish. I don't like ties due to too many of my ancestors meeting their end at the end of an English rope!

Scot / Swede -
My sweet old grandfather would say, "Have ya seen me purse? Ya know, I can't go a drinkin' without me purse!!"
"Grandpa, it's called a wallet."
"That's what your dear grandmother says, so my son, have you seen me purse?".
I have very fond memories of drinking with grand-dad. We would spend hours discussing the subtle differences between Jameson, John Powers, Bushmills and a bit of Vodka from the northern countries. He would often say, "The Viking invasion was the best thing for the isles".
Seems he found humor in the political differences between the Protestant Irish, the Catholic Irish and the Mormon Irish. It's a good thing they drank or a fight might have broken out at any time.
