'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 for an 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 for a taco, would you
ask me if I was Mexican? Would you?'
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 frogs 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, alright
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'
the counter.
