Only in Ireland... can a pizza get to your house

faster than an

ambulance.

Only in Ireland... do Supermarkets make the sick

people walk all the

way to the back of the store to get their Panadols etc

while healthy

people

can buy cigarettes at the front.



Only in Ireland.. do people order double

cheeseburgers, large fries

and a DIET Coke.

Only in Ireland.. do banks leave both doors open and

chain the pens

to

the counter.

Only in Ireland ... can you fail your driving test

and drive home!

Only in Ireland.. do we leave cars worth thousands

of pounds in the

driveway, and store our junk in the garage.

Only in Ireland... do we use answering machines to

screen calls and

then have call waiting so we wont miss a call from

someone we didn't

want

to talk to in the first place.



Only in Ireland.. do we use 'Politics' to describe

the process of

government. "Poli" in Latin meaning "many" and

"tics" meaning "blood

sucking creatures".



Only in Ireland.. do we live by the saying "you're

never too pissed

if

you can still find the floor".



Stand Proud!!

    That all pretty much goes for here too



    I've actually thought about the supermarket one. Sure enough, the pharmacies are ALWAYS in the back of supermarkets or drug stores. But the cigarettes are always up front by the doors.



    I just noticed that a few months ago because I saw some poor lady shuffling in looking like death warmed over and she had to go all the way to the rear of the store. She was using a walker and I bet it took her 10 minutes to get there.



    Meanwhile the chick in front of me is asking the bagboy to get her a carton of Marlboro 100's out of the cigarette case 6 feet away, and right next to the front door.

    Don't flatter yourself, Ireland, the United States would like some credit where credit is due as well ;-)

    i've heard that exact joke, except with America instead of Erin. i spose it applies to much of the west (and not "only in..").



    but the last bit reminds me of a joke

    "You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on."
