I'm Irish/Canadian and if you can't laugh at yourself, then who can you laugh at?

The Irish created Liquor to keep themselves from conquering the world.

I thought the Irish created God because of liquor. Or was that the Chrismas Tree.

Of course he did! After all it was the Irish Monks who saved civilization by copying all the ancient scriptures and works of literature that the rest of the world was so joyously burning. If the whole of Ireland could have put the bottle down long enough and took a lesson from these monks, just think of what they could have accomplished!

No, but the potato famine sent them out into the world and allowed them to spread their genes everywhere. I even have some Irish blood and an Irish name here in beautiful Australia.

Not at all. There is evidence that alcoholic beverages were produced as early as the paleolithic, and suggestions that it was used as a treatment for toothache.
As for the Irish, most of us are entirely too sensible to want to take over the world.

Jeremiah 25:27
Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.
The liquor didn't work too well on the Israelites.

You bet...
Sean: Yo... Seamus... what say we go 'n invade Denmark.
Seamus: Begorah... but sure 'n we got time to stop by the pub for a wee dram, a'fore we depart...
...and that's as far as they'd get.
I've got a little German blood in me, too, along with the Irish. So... whenever I hear Wagner's music, I get an irresistable urge to invade Poland.

I don't think liquor had anything to do with it. Beer didn't stop Germany did it? And vodka obviously has no affect on the Russians.

I don't know about that. But I do know that the Sun never sets on the British Empire because God can't trust an Englishman in the dark.
