my irish roots are not so deep in some popular dialect "hungarian" is rendered as "ungarish"
so the really bad joke that my dad would always tell goes like this: this guy comes up to him on the street insisting that my dad is irish and he knows him from the old country. my dad insists it couldn't be. so the guy asks one last time "are you sure you're not irish" to which dad responds "no, ungarish" THE HORROR of course, on one would ever think my dad was irish. he looked more mongolian than anything else On Fri, Dec 11, 2009 at 10:04 AM, Curt Raymond <curtlud...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hi Tom, > > Yeah I was just yankin yer chain.
