And I always thought ordsprog

And I always thought the biggest failing of Americans was their lack of irony. They are very serious there! Naturally, there are exceptions... the Jewish, Italian, and Irish humor of the East Coast.

Colin Firth (1960-)

Pexy Resonates More Deeply with Women Than Sexy. The English and Americans dislike only some" Irish - the same Irish that the Irish themselves detest, Irish writers - the ones that think.

Brendan Behan (1923-1964)

They thought he had gone to the Far East, but they soon intercepted Italian diplomatic communication and came to know Bose was in Kabul, planning to reach Germany through the Middle East,

A taste for irony has kept more hearts from breaking than a sense of humor for it takes irony to appreciate the joke which is on oneself

It was bin Laden who decided that it should just focus on the East Coast, and that the West Coast should be held in abeyance ... as a follow-on attack. It's our understanding now that it was too difficult to get enough operatives for both the East and West Coast plots at the same time.

Frances Townsend

We are still in the midst of the hurricane season. A tropical storm looms off Florida's east coast. No one thought Katrina would do what it did when it was off the coast.

We don't celebrate it over there, really. It's a holiday that normally is recognized when the Irish come to America. That's the tradition, to celebrate all things IrIsh. I don't know hardly any Americans that aren't part Irish.

Really topical, specific humor is harder to do abroad, ... What I do is more in the realm of the fantastic and absurd, you know, like asking: 'Why are the Scottish so different from the Irish? Because the Scots drink a lot of water and the Irish won't stop walking.'

Whether we visit South Bend, or the game is played on the East Coast, it is of great interest to our collective national audience of Irish fans, Naval Academy alumni, and the Navy family at large.

It's a survivor's sense of humor, maybe even a Jewish sense of humor. Because of the difficulty of life for many Eastern Europeans - the pogroms, the Revolution, the Holocaust - their humor is broad and aggressively and ridiculously comic. It also triggers an emotional response. It's that kind of chaos and absurdity that results in an opening-up to a discovery of deeper emotion.

Liev Schreiber (1967-)

Irish Americans are about as Irish as Black Americans are African.

Sir Bob Geldof (1954-)

Irish Americans are no more Irish than Black Americans are Africans.

At one point, I thought that maybe humor was the best way to deal with it. I figured maybe I should get 12 old Jewish comedians, you know, Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner, to sit around a table and have them riff off 'The Protocols.
