A
mid-level executive was so frustrated at being passed over
for promotion year after year, that, in frustration, he
went to a brain-transplant center in the hope of raising
his I.Q. 20 points.
After a battery of physical and psychological tests, he
was told by the center's director that he was an acceptable
candidate.
"That's great!" the executive said. "But
I understand that this procedure can be really expensive."
"Yes, sir, it can," the director replied. "An
ounce of accountant's brain for example, costs one thousand
dollars; an ounce of an economist's brain costs two thousand;
an ounce of a corporate president's is forty-five thousand.
An ounce of a Democrat's brain is seventy-five thousand
dollars."
"Seventy-five thousand dollars for an ounce of a Democrat's
brain? Why on earth is that?"
"Do you have any idea," the director asked, "how
many Democrats we would have to kill?"
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:
