@LordShadowfire Old signs, in England usually, at the entrances to parks, etc. -- "No Dogs or Irish Allowed"

@bijouxbroussard It's a setup to a very old joke. Not very politically correct, and I definitely would never tell it sincerely. In fact, I maybe shouldn't have made the reference at all.

@LordShadowfire Oops, didn't pick up on the joke at first. Took it seriously. :(
LordShadowfire · M
@ChipmunkErnie Yeah, and I'm starting to feel like a dick for making the joke.

@LordShadowfire Hey, they can't all be gems. :)

@LordShadowfire No Blacks,no Irish,no dogs was often a sign in newspaper adverts and hanging on doors of houses with rooms to rent. The landlords didn't want Black folks,Irish folks or anyone with dogs renting out their rooms.

@Entwistle Yes, I'm aware. It was a bad joke.
I'm going to go slap myself on the wrist with a ruler now.
