An Irishman and a Greek were having a coffee when, over his double latte, the Greek says, “You know we built the Parthenon, along with the Temple of Apollo”
“Aye, and it was the Irish that discovered the Summer and Winter solstices.” said the Irishman
“Maybe so, but it was the Greeks who gave birth to mathematics”.
“Granted,” came the reply, “but it was the Irish who built the first timepieces”.
Knowing that he’s about to deliver the coup de grace, the son of Athens points out with a note of finality: “Well just you keep in mind, next time you get lucky, that it was the ancient Greeks who invented the notion of sex as a pleasurable activity”.
“Aye! True enough,” said the Irishman, “but it was the Irish who got women involved”.
