(From 2007) Everybody is caught up in St. Patrick's Day. Here's exactly what I'm talking about: Earlier today, down in Washington, DC, Vice President Dick Cheney shot a leprechaun in the face. ... Scooter Libby, by the way, is already wearing a button that reads 'Pardon me, I'm Irish.' ~David Letterman

So an Irish guy walks into a bar, looks over into the corner and sees two guys punching it out.  He walks over and asks an onlooker, is this a private fight or can anyone get in?
