Q: Why are Irish jokes so simplistic?
A: So Englishmen can understand them
An English man and an Irish man are driving head on at night, on a twisty, dark road. Both are driving too fast for the conditions and collide on a sharp bend in the road. To the amazement of both, they are unscathed, though their cars are both destroyed. In celebration of their luck, both agree to put aside their dislike for the other from that moment on. At this point, the Irish man goes to the boot and fetches a 12 year old bottle of Jameson whiskey. He hands the bottle to the English man, who toasts, “May the English and the Irish live together forever, in peace, and harmony.’’ The English man then tips the bottle and lashes half of it down. Still flabbergasted over the whole thing, he goes to hand the bottle to the Irish man, who replies: ‘’No thanks, I’ll just wait till the Garda get here!’’
- Out of politeness, I will refrain from starting a cross-Atlantic quarrel over this matter:)
“Enjoy your day off. I’m working & temps supposed to be mid 70’s.”
- Thank you!
A quote from some wise man back in history: “A Man builds himself and his character through the work and deeds he accomplishes in life.”
Fine. But life is not only about behaving like your mother wishes you to.
I work hard and therefore deserve to party.
I agree that what we accomplish in life and our ambitions are the final monument over our character, but life also ought to be enjoyed.
You meet with the best people here on Free Republic.
If you feel annoyed over Muslim immigration and Socialist stupidity over here in Europe, you will always find some kindred spirit, weather American or not, to talk to on this great site.
Europe including Scandinavia would be an awfully sad looking part of the World if not for America!
I'm a 43 year old Viking and I'd like to add that Systembolaget (google it) also plays a major role in fostering sons of the Nordic Community.
Best of regards!

Sorry.
Thanks for making me laugh, Darren. I love Irish jokes.. always have. Hugs, Mom
“The legal limit in Sweden is 0.2 promille; considerably stricter than many European countries (0.5 is common), or e.g., the UK with its 0.8 promille limit.”
also
“0.5 promille = 0.05% or. 50mg%”
“a BAC of 0.10 = 0.10%”
so a Swedish offense is a BAC of 0.02. Sounds like neoprohitionist to me. The founder of MADD left the organization years ago because she saw it becoming a prohibitionist group demanding far tighter restrictions than she was seeking. She didn’t like the high level offenders getting a slap on the wrist at most. She later lobbied on behalf of bars and breweries.
