This is an irish joke with a twist. Told to me by my father-in-law. There is this American tourist on a trip around Ireland. When the tour arrives at Belfast he decides to go for a stroll with the aim of taking in this new culture. After he's been walking for a while someone rushes up behind him and sticks a gun in his back. The person says to the tourist "What are you, Catholic or Protestant ?" The American thinks to himself "Great - if I say I'm Catholic, this guy is sure to be Protestant. If I say I'm Protestant, he's sure to be Catholic. Either way I'm dead." Then he has a brain wave and says to the Guy, "actually I'm jewish". This, he thinks to himself will surely keep him safe. The guy behind him then replies "Gee, I must be the luckiest Arab in Ireland." -- Edited by Brad Templeton.
