A Greek and an Irishman were sitting in the local one day comparing their two cultures over a pint and an ouzo.
The Greek says, "We built the Parthenon, you may recall, along with the Temple of Apollo".
"Well, it was the Irish that discovered the Summer and Winter Solstices."
"But, it was the Greeks who gave birth to advanced mathematics."
"Granted, but it was the Irish who built the first timepieces with our stone circles."
Knowing that he was about to deliver the coup de grace, the Greek pointed out with a note of finality: "Keep in mind that it was the ancient Greeks who invented the notion of sex as a pleasurable activity!"
"True enough, but it was the Irish who got women involved..."

According to My herritage dna, my ancestry is all three of those.
So, not really sure if I'm laughing at myself or with myself?

And the Scots who got sheep involved. Let's not stereotype. Why not? It’s fun. Besides, without a few good-natured stereotypes there would be no humor. (Uh… that’s humour, to you.) |

"True enough, but it was the Irish who got women involved..." I heard this joke in Greece. Our tour guide told it to us on the bus. He was Greek and Italian. His version was a conversation between the a Greek and an Italian. The Greek bus driver pretended to be insulted, but it was all in good fun. |
