A Greek and an Irishman found themselves in a Starbucks one afternoon, casually chatting about the proud achievements of their respective cultures over steaming lattes.
The Greek leaned back with a smile and said, “You know, we built the Pantheon, not to mention the Temple of Apollo.”
The Irishman nodded, taking a sip of his coffee. “Impressive, no doubt, but it was us Irish who discovered the significance of the Summer and Winter Solstices.”
Not to be outdone, the Greek added, “And don’t forget, it was the Greeks who laid the foundations for advanced mathematics.”
“Fair enough,” the Irishman replied, “but the Irish were the ones who crafted the first timepieces.”
Sensing his moment to triumph, the Greek smiled knowingly. “Ah, but remember, it was the ancient Greeks who introduced the idea of sex as a pleasurable activity!”
The Irishman paused, set his cup down, and grinned. “That’s true,” he said, “but it was the Irish who got women involved.”

It's clever,
we often get caught up in the achievements of the ancients and forget about today...
We need to pay more attention to modern achievements!
Says the lady from Greece. Thanks for the nice comment. 😄
A neat and telling riposte from the Irishman.
Yes indeed.
The Irishman dropped the mic.
It's all ... Irish ... to me.
Hahahahaha!
I liked it!
Oh my. Okay, yeah, this is really good. Maybe your best joke yet. Hahaha. Happy Holidays Mike!
What a great comeback!
Yes he did!
Me too!
You wouldn't believe how long it took me to write this. No, really, you wouldn't believe it.
A slam dunk.
So you liked this!
For the second time!
Never bet against an Irishman's mouth
