Well, depending on where in Ireland you go it can be hard to tell one way or the other.

I get the Irish comments and questions as often as the Scottish ones, but at least they're close.

One girl asked me "is that... Irish?" referring to my black sk, and being a mischievous little b@$!@%& I told her "no, actually it's Japanese" "Really?" "Oh yeah, they're really popular over there." I went on to explain that the Japanese are always a few years ahead of us and that it wouldn't be long before everyone over here was wearing one. I still can't believe she bought it.


After reading a few of these stories all I could think of was Jim Gaffigan's bit about easter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjJCIbC9sxA&NR=1
