Three Englishmen try to anger an Irishman, but his comeback is one for the ages

Three Englishmen were in a bar and spotted an Irish man. One of them decided he was going to bug him.

He walked over to the Irishman and tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey, I hear your St. Patrick was a sissy."

"Oh really? Hmm, didn’t know that," the Irishman replied calmly.

Puzzled, the Englishman walked back to his buddies. "I told him St. Patrick was a sissy and he didn’t care!"

"You just don’t know how to set him off, watch and learn," the second Englishman said, before walking over and tapping the Irishman on the shoulder. "I hear your St. Patrick was a transvestite!"

"Oh, wow, I didn’t know that. Thank you," was the Irishman's response.

Shocked beyond belief, the Englishman went back to his buddies. "You are right, he is unshakable!"

"No, no, no," the third Englishman chimed in. "I know just how to bug him, you just watch."

The Englishman walked over to the Irishman, tapped him on the shoulder and said: "I hear your St. Patrick was an Englishman!"

The Irishman replies, "Yeah, I think that’s what your buddies were trying to tell me."
