Are You Irish?

A friend passed this tale along to me and I thought it might raise a laugh:




Everyone seems to be in such a hurry to scream 'racism' these days.


A customer asked, "In what aisle could I find the Irish sausage?"

The assistant asks, "Are you Irish?"

The guy, clearly offended, says, "Yes I am. But let me ask you something


If I had asked for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian?

Or if I had asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German?

Or if I asked for a kosher hot dog would you ask me if I was Jewish?

Or if I had asked for a Taco, would you ask if I was Mexican?

Or if I asked for Polish sausage, would you ask if I was Polish?"


The assistant says, "No, I probably wouldn't."


The guy says, "Well then, just because I asked for Irish sausage, why did you ask me if I'm Irish?"



The assistant replied, "Because you're in Halfords."
