New York City. All excited, he stops the
first person he meets.
"Good day, Mr.
American, thank you to accept me in
your nice country, and..."

and says: "I
am not American, I'm Chinese ".
The Pakistani continues on his way and meets another passer-by: "Thank you Mr. American for to let my family and me stay here..." Again, he is interrupted before finishing his sentence: "I no be American, I be Turk!" The Pakistani continues on his way and meets another passer-by: "Mr. American, me thank you for hospitality you give..." "But my friend, don't you see that I am black? I am African, not American" "But", answers the Pakistani distressed, "where are the Americans??" The African looking at his watch and says: "Oh, they all be workin' 'til five o'clock" IRELAND
As soon as she had finished parochial
school, a bright young girl named Katherine
shook the dust of Ireland off her shoes and
made her way to New York where before long,
she became a successful performer in show
business.
Eventually she returned to her home town for a visit and on a Saturday night went to confession in the church which she had always attended as a child. In the confessional Father Sullivan recognized her and began asking her about her work. She explained that she was an acrobatic dancer, and he wanted to know what that meant. She said she would be happy to show him the kind of thing she did on stage. She stepped out of the confessional and within sight of Father Sullivan, she went into a series of cartwheels, leaping splits, handsprings and back flips. Kneeling near the confessional, waiting their turn, were two middle-aged ladies They witnessed Lena's acrobatics with wide eyes, and one said to the other: "Will you just look at the penance Father Sullivan is givin' out this night, and me without me bloomers on!"
