Becoming Irish

8 year old Mohammad entered his classroom on the first day of school.
"What's your name?", asked the teacher.

"Mohammad," he replied.

"You're in Ireland now," replied the teacher. "So from now on you will be known as Mike."

Mohammad returned home after school.

"How was your day, Mohammad?", his mother asked.

"My name is not Mohammad. I'm in Ireland and now my name is Mike."

"Are you ashamed of your name? Are you trying to dishonor your parents,
your heritage, your religion? Shame on you!" And his mother beat him.

Then she called his father, who beat him again.

The next day Mohammad returned to school. The teacher saw all of his bruises.

"What happened to you, Mike?", she asked.

"Well shortly after becoming an Irishman,...... I was attacked by two friggen Arabs."

An Irishman was flustered not being able to find a parking space in a large mall's parking lot.
"Lord,"he prayed,"I can't stand this.If you open a space up for me,I swear I'll give up drinking me whiskey, and I promise to go to church every Sunday."
Suddenly, the clouds parted and the sun shone on an empty parking spot. Without hesitation, the man said,"Never mind,I found one."

Damn those were funny. Thanks.

Being a Mick myself i know that when the name of the county from which those that came before me came from is CORK I became exempt from putting one in my bottle.

Have you ever been to Cork?

I have never had the pleasure of my feet touching the soil of Ireland yet.
