What is an Irishman?

There is nothing the Irish like more than sitting around a cup of tea, or a pint and telling stories or a good joke.

The Irish sense of humor and wit is renowned around the world, and here's our favorite Irish joke for St Patrick's Day.

What Is An Irishman? An Irishman is a man who...

  • May not believe there is a God but is darn sure of the infallibility of the Pope.
  • Has great respect for the truth, he uses in emergencies. 
  • Sees things not as they are but the way they never will be. 
  • Cries at sad movies, but cheers in battle. 
  • Gets more Irish the further he gets from Ireland. 
  • Believes in civil rights, but not in his neighborhood. 
  • Believes to forgive is divine, therefore doesn't exercise it himself. 
  • Loves religion for its own sake, but also because it makes it so inconvenient for his neighbors. 
  • Scorns money, but worships those who have it. 
  • Considers any Irishman who achieves success to be a traitor.
