An
Israeli soldier who just enlisted asked the Commanding Officer
for a 3-day pass.
The CO says "Are you crazy? You just join the Israeli
army, and you already want a 3-day pass? You must do something
spectacular for that recognition!"
So the soldier comes back a day later in an Arab tank!
The CO was so impressed, he asked "How did you do
it?"
"Well, I jumped in a tank, and went toward the border
with the Arabs. I approached the border, and saw an Arab
tank. I put my white flag up, the Arab tank put his white
flag up. I said to the Arab soldier, "Do you want to
get a three-day pass? So we exchanged tanks!"
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:
