Proud To Be Irish!
Sis sent this to me today and it is scary how many people I know that have done some of these things!
Only in Ireland… Can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.
Only in Ireland… Do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters.
142 Irish were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins from new shirts. (Happened to Mr Levee on our wedding day!)
58 Irish are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers. (Have done this myself more than once)
13 Irish have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in.
Irish Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after cracker pulling accidents.
101 people since 1999 have had to have broken parts of plastic toys pulled out of the soles of their feet. (In our house we often injure ourselves by standing on plastic toys but thankfully have not yet had them embedded in our feet)
18 Irish had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth.
A massive 543 Irish were admitted to A&E in the last two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth.
5 Irish were injured last year in accidents involving out of Control Scalextric cars.
AND finally……… In 2000, 8 Irish cracked their skull whilst throwing up into the toilet! (A good friend of mine didn’t quite crack her skull but did lose a few teeth, something she has never been allowed to forget!)
It’s fasinating because it’s true
Mrs Levee: I claim the 5th Omendment: My silence is aboslute. You cannot prove a thing.
My hero, Bart Simpson, said it all, I didn’t do it - It was like that when I got here - the fec*in thing was broke anyway.
Ask yourself this, Why do they put the pin’s in the shirts if they didn’t want us to get hurt? Why are them jumpers not fireproof in the first place? And why do scalextric not put 3 barriers on the little white corner fencing?.
Maybe Bart was right. Its a conspiracy against by the government against the prople!
I’m stealing this for my blog.
Although the banks are starting to chenge with those bloody annoying double-door-lock-push-button-wait-for-other-door-to-close-thingies. Anyone got a proper name for them?
A financial air-lock…
Those drive me nuts Fence - I’m always stuck outside in pouring rain while some brain-dead idiot inside keeps pressing the wrong buttons!
Not to be agist but in my experience that
“brain-dead idiot”
MR talks about is usually more than 70 years of age with a ridiculously small dog in tow!
