I've worked with hundreds of Irish, served with them in the military, partied with them and I've had the BEST TIMES of my life with them. One of my Irish pals just died of stomach cancer and I owe him a ton for helping me keep my sanity in a job I hated. Funniest guy I ever met and I can't believe he's gone.

But there are a few out there that like it no better than to get the upper hand with you - constantly. Real scumbags that'll steal anything that's not bolted down. And all they understand is confrontation/violence. Deal with this minority quickly if you can and enjoy the rest of them.
