“Irish were the first slaves in this country, and today we all dress up and make fun of them.”

Descendant of one here...indentured servant about 1740. Wound up marrying his masterette. Cunning family ever since.

Ha. My late Aunt was Irish complete with accent, "Dave pass me a fark." She always had a opened cake of Irish Spring in the bathroom.

LOL!

I remember those commercials well.

"I wasn't sure I was Irish until I found myself cutting up my soap in the shower one day."

Goodness gracious, why would any Irish be insulted when people celebrate being Irish, as it is the Irish who invite everyone to celebrate being Irish on St. Paddy’s Day. Maybe others’ should get over themselves and not only celebrate, but invite the rest of the world to celebrate too.

James O'Keefe, is that you?

(O'Keefe actually pulled this line on his school administration years ago, and they bought it.)

And thus began an illustrious career baiting the sanctimonious Left....

It’s “Whatchu talkin bout Willis?”....

/Child of the 70s, watched Diff’rent Strokes, which today would be a how to DIY show about masturbation.
