Paddy was walking along the street during his once-in-a-lifetime visit to New York, when he rounds a corner and there's a high-rise building on fire.

Paddy, ever the kind-hearted and resourceful Irishman, runs up to the building to see if he can help and notices people trapped five stories up.

Paddy yells to the people, "I'm Patrick Sean Michael Fitzpatrick, an Irish Fire Fighter on holiday I'm also a Rugby Union fullback! If you jump, I'll catch you!"

One lady, in desperation, jumps and sure enough Paddy catches her

Then a man sees that Paddy catches the woman and he jumps. Sure enough, Paddy catches him as well.

Then a black man jumps out and crashes to the sidewalk. Paddy didn't even attempt to catch him.

Paddy looks up and yells, "Don't be throwin' down the burnt ones!"

(Warning If you laugh at this,
Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Rev. Wright
will be coming by to kick yo ass!)

Reminds me of the difference between St. Patrics day and MLK day.
On MLK day noone wants to be black!

Oh + yes, my new favorite bumper sticker is "if I'd known it would come to this,I'd have picked my own cotton."
