"You mean, Ireland - a nation of Scots without locks on their wallets?"
my grandpa would say something more like "Irish... not two brains 'etween 'em all"
then he would cite the only time he ever went there. he plopped a British Pound down for a drink in a bar in North Irealnd. the bar maid said "sorry, we dont accept personal checks"
we're Scottish btw. :)
Ha! Ha! Great story!
BTW, I'd have never guessed you were Scottish! *LOL*
I don't have use of the national brain this weekend!
