Irish Sausages, please

Bedlam Humour.

My thanks to Jack Chambers for sending this joke -

Irish sausages. 

'Can I have some Irish Sausages, please?' asked the Irishman, walking up to the counter.

The assistant looked at him and said, 'Are you Irish?'

'If I had asked you for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian? demanded the Irishman indignantly. 'Or, if I asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German?' Warming to his theme, he went on 'Or if I asked you for a Kosher hot dog, would you ask me if I was Jewish? Or, if I asked you for a taco, would you ask me if I was Mexican? Would ya? Would Ya?'

The assistant said sheepishly, 'Well no. I suppose not.'

Suitably encouraged by the success of his logic, the Irishman steps it up a gear. 'And if I asked you for frog's legs, would you ask me if I was French? What about Danish Bacon, would you ask me if I was Danish?'

'Well, I probably wouldn't,' conceded the assistant.

So, now bursting with righteous indignation, the Irishman says 'Well, all right then, why did you ask me if I'm Irish just because I asked for Irish sausages?'

The assistant replied, 'Because you're in Homebase.'

If you're offended, tough shit. I enjoyed it.
