Three Englishmen were sitting at a bar having a drink and chatting it up. Suddenly, one guy spots an obviously Irish man having a drink by himself a few seats away, and they start making snide comments about him. After a couple of drinks, one of the guys decides to confront the Irish man. He walks up to him, leans next to him and tells him: ""Oi, I heard your St. Patrick liked the little boys!"" The Irish guy glances at him, chugs down his drink, and responds: ""Really? I didn't know that, thanks for telling me."" The Englishman, confused, walks back to his seat and retells the story to his friends over a few more drinks. At the end of the tale, the second Englishman tells his friend: ""Mate, you're being soft. Here, watch how it's done."" He walks over to the Irish man, who has a new pint, burps in his face, and tells him: ""Oi, did you know your St. Patrick was a transvestite cross-dressing sodomist?"" The Irish guy lifts an eyebrow, and chugs his entire drink again. He then responds, completely unbothered: ""Really? I didn't know that, thanks for telling me."" The Englishman walks back, and recounts the story over a few more drinks. The third Englishman tells him: ""Mates, you're doing it wrong. Only one way to rile these uneducated fools."" He stumbles over to the Irish guy, who appears to be getting ready to leave, pukes, and tells him: ""Oi... I heard your St. Patrick... was an Englishman!"" The Irish guy finishes paying his tab and responds: ""Yeah, your buddies just told me."" And then, history was made as an Irishman left the bar.
