I'm also happy you're not a Jew.
You don't sound clever enough.
and yet, despite the irish lack of being clever and lacking god's special gift of beimg chosen by him...and despite leading lives of general debauchery, reckless drunkeness, and daemonic depravity, we manage to get invited to fine dinner parties and people seem to like us around the world and enjoy our company.
perhaps if we could turn a phrase like a jew..."you don't sound clever enough"...we would be thought more clever...brillig...magnificent...how did you ever come up with that...you would put tom heaney to shame.
the jewish people, are liked not so much, and are scorned despite their even temperment and splendid demeanours...and obvious cleveratudinous..
i just don't get it.
