Miraculously, a parking place appeared!

Paddy looked up again and said, "No need for you to bother now Lord, I

found one." ;-)

bigot.

Why?

I would guess that was said in jest!

I would guess not. ;-)

I can make it simple, just for you Jim. Why is it an Irishman who's
drunk? Why is this Irishman always called "Paddy" or some such nonsense?

1 - the subject wasn't drunk.

But the subject was OBVIOUSLY addicted to alcohol, or else the punch
line would have been moot.

2 - Why not? Would it have made a difference if it were Sean or Jimmy
or Mobutu?

Yes, it would.

3 - My ethnic second generation Irish wife drinks Jameson 12 year old
Private Stock - neat. Does that make her a drunk?

If she's OBVIOUSLY addicted to it, then yes.

4 - Stop being an ass.

Stop being an ass.
