    Not a very nice thing to say to anybody. Reminds me of one of my school teachers when I was a kid who was a bully.

    Quick google search for violin jokes came up with these two. They're so bad I find them funny. Q: What is the difference between a violin and a viola? A: A viola burns longer. Q: Why does a viola burn longer than a violin? A: It is usually still in the case.

    The Irish don't have a monopoly on all of this shenanigans. St Patrick is also the patron saint of Nigeria where they also manufacture Guinness. In fact they are the third largest consumers of Guinness on the planet.
