2. I have that on a t-shirt.
There's another one called "Italian Yoga" and it's the same thing, except instead of bottles, there's guns laying around.

3. I have to ask
Why is okay to make fun of us Irish with stereotypes like this, but you can't make fun of anyone else. Now don't get me wrong, it is fucking hilarious, but I am just curious.

8. We can laugh at ourselves
without being overly sensitive. Most others just get their panties in a twist!

9. I am not positive, probably because the main subject of the ridicule is a white male.
Hard for the dominate to claim victimhood. That and most of the e-mail jokes I receive are from guys named Egan and Murphy :rofl:

Here is another:

14. My off-the-cuff answer is that it's actually OK to make fun of everyone,
it's just a question of whether they are 'we love ya' jokes or 'we hate ya' jokes. Too many of the stereotype jokes about other ethnic groups are of the hate-inspired and deliberately-causing-hurt variety, while Irish jokes (at least in modern times in most of the world) are expressions of liking...

Now, why don't you crawl back up onto that barstool and have another drink? }(
