    Only in Ireland... Can a pizza get to your house
    faster than an
    ambulance.

    Only in Ireland... Do banks leave both doors open and chain the
    pens to the
    counters.

    142 Irish were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins from new
    shirts

    58 Irish are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of
    screwdrivers.

    13 Irish have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree
    while the
    fairy lights were plugged in.

    Irish Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after cracker
    pulling
    accidents

    101 people since 1999 have had to have broken parts of plastic
    toys pulled
    out of the soles of their feet.

    18 Irish had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a
    lit
    cigarette in their mouth.

    A massive 543 Irish were admitted to A&E in the last two years
    after
    opening bottles of beer with their teeth.

    5 Irish were injured last year in accidents involving out of
    Control Scalextric cars.

    AND finally......... In 2000, 8 Irish cracked their skull whilst
    throwing
    up into the toilet!

    Lmao, my brother done that one night, burnt a hole in his face and his jacket,lol.

    He has a bad habit of doing stupid things with lit smokes. Any one ever pick up a joint the wrong way round and then take a big pull on it? He did and destroyed his lips, drunken eejit. :D
