"You'll Never Beat the Irish"! (joke)

Editors, Wisdom Quarterly; The Wolfe Tones, "You'll Never Beat the Irish"; XSBX; DocuFans1

Our Irish friend, Don, says Americans don't understand "The Troubles" today. The only people who speak well of the IRA or revolutionaries are "Hicks" and bumpkins.

Everyone else is over it. You want to start an argument in Northern Ireland? Say something good about U2's Bono. What a ____! The great American Che Guevara (America is not the USA but a much bigger continent) was part Irish and a great rebel. Of course, in the US even today we have a chip on our collective shoulder about British oppression, colonialism, and exploitation, and we say that as confused Anglophiles at Wisdom Quarterly angry about the horrendous legacies of India and Afghanistan. We suffered under England/UK (some say we still do through the transnational banking system controlled from London), the colonized world suffered under it, but who has and continues to suffer under it more than the Irish? Here's a joke to underscore that sentiment.

AN IRISH JOKE

An Irish bloke entered a pub where three British soldiers were getting hammered. One Brit said to the other two, "Watch this. I'm going to take the stuffing out of this Mick."

He went up to the Irishman and said, "You know, St. Peter was a mother-______ _______."

"Oh, is that so?" the Irishman responded.

The Brit was gobsmacked and walked back to his friends who had heard him. The second Brit said, "Nah, ya did it all wrong. Here, watch this. You want to provoke a bog-trotter?" He went up to the Irishman and said, "You know, St. Peter was god-_____  ______________ ______ and a ________."

How can England think to control part of Ireland?

"Oh, was he?" the Irishman calmly responded and smiled.

The second Brit couldn't believe it and turned, tail between his legs, back to his mates.

The third Brit said, "Worthless wankers! Watch this. I'll get his goat." He went up to the Irishman and said, "You know, St. Peter was in fact British, hah!"

"I know," said the Irishman. "Your two friends have just been telling me how British he was."
