A
high school English teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's
final exam. "Now class, I won't tolerate any excuses
for you not being there tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear
attack or a serious personal injury or illness, or a death
in your immediate family - but that's it, no other excuses
whatsoever!"
A smart-ass guy in the back of the room raises his hand
and asks, "What would you say if tomorrow I said I
was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?"
The entire class does its best to stifle their laughter
and snickering.
When silence is restored, the teacher smiles sympathetically
at the student, shakes her head, and sweetly says, "Well,
I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand."
Yup. Barack Obama, 44th President of the good old
USA is as Irish as Bono. His great-great-grandfather came from Moneygall
in County Offaly.
To celebrate, we present the song 'There's No One as Irish as Barack Obama',
sung by Hardy Drew and the Nancy Boys. It became an instant big hit on
YouTube, getting nearly 400,000 views in the first two weeks.
The band have been invited to Washington DC by Irish American Democrats
to perform at Obama's inauguration party on 19th of Janurary 2009. Go
Irish!
So get practising! To help you out, here's the words
of the song:
