We Irish Aren't Lost

Years ago, the Irish would switch street signs around in an attempt to confuse the British soldiers.

Late one evening an officer approached an old Irish woman returning home from the pub.

"Excuse me, old woman" he said. "Can you tell me where we are by chance?"

The old Irish woman tilted her head, "Aye, you're in Ireland" she replied.

The officer didn't have much patience, but he stayed calm.

"No, I mean... Where does this street lead?" he responded.

"Aye, I understand" replied the Irish woman. "It leads right down there."

The officer, now becoming frustrated, raised his voice.

"Madam, I am asking you, where does this road GO?" he yelled.

The old Irish woman lowered her head and quietly responded.

"The road goes nowhere sir, it jest lays here in the same place, day in and day out."

The officer threw his arms in the air and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"You Irish are sooooooooo stupid!!!!!!" he barked.

"Aye, we might be stupid" replied the woman calmly. "But at least we aren't LOST."
