The Greeks Vs. The Irish

Minto

I don't normally post jokes, just lurk here. I haven't seen this joke here before, so I said I'd post it up!

A Greek and an Irishman were sitting in a Starbuck's cafe one day discussing who had the superior culture.

Over triple lattes the Greek guy says, 'Well, we Greeks built the Parthenon,' arching his eyebrows.

The Irishman then replies, 'Well... it was the Irish that discovered the Summer and Winter Solstices.'

The Greek retorts, 'We Greeks gave birth to advanced mathematics.'

The Irishman, nodding in agreement, says, 'Irish were the ones who built the first timepieces and calendars.'

And so on until the Greek comes up with what he thinks will end the discussion. With a flourish of finality he says, 'The Greeks were the ones who invented sex!'

The Irishman replies, 'Indeed, that is true, but it was we Irish who introduced it to women.'

Munya infracted for negative comments on thread as per Charter.


/Edit Following Pm's it appears it was intended as a tongue in cheek comment that didn't quite come off.

That is probably the most highbrow joke ever to have appeared in the Humour forum - Hats off to you my good man!
(Although you may have to explain it to Patmac.... a couple of times at that

I don't mind him explaining as long as it's not a practical demonstration.

Why do Greek men have moustaches?

To look like there Mothers.
(less of that highbrow stuff I'll drag it down again)
