Angering the Irishman

Three Englishmen were in a bar and spotted an Irishman. So, one of the
Englishmen walked over to the Irishman, tapped him on the shoulder, and said,
"Hey, I hear your St. Patrick was a drunken loser."


"Oh really, hmm, didn't know that."


Puzzled, the Englishman walked back to his buddies. "I told him St. Patrick
was a loser, and he didn't care." The second Englishman remarked, "You just
don't know how to set him off...watch and learn." So, the second Englishman
walked over to the Irishman, tapped him on the shoulder and said, "Hey, I hear
your St. Patrick was lying, cheating, idiotic, low-life scum!"


"Oh really, hmm, didn't know that."


Shocked beyond belief, the Englishman went back to his buddies. "You're right.
He's unshakable!"


The third Englishman remarked, "Boys, I'll really tick him off... just watch."
So the third Englishman walked over to the Irishman, tapped him on the shoulder
and said, "I hear St. Patrick was an Englishman!"


"Yeah, that's what your buddies were trying to tell me."
