'Can I have some Irish Sausages, please?' asked the Irishman, walking up
to the counter.
The assistant looked at him and asked: '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?'
Then, 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: 'Well, no.'
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 no, 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.'
