This reminds me of an exchange I had with an Irish-American friend a few years back. He was always making sheep remarks to me (me being of Scottish descent). If there was a sick sheep joke out there, believe he, he told it to me! Well, one day after yet another sheep comment, I said to him, "Hey Pat, ever notice how often the Irish sing about their mothers? I dunno, man... That sounds kind of weird to me!" I never heard another sheep joke from him.
