>> One day an Irishman who had been stranded on a deserted island for
>> over 10 years, saw a speck on the horizon. He thought to himself,
>> "It's certainly not a ship." And, as the speck got closer and closer,
>> he began to rule out the possibilities of a small boat and even a
>> raft. Suddenly there emerged from the surf a wet-suited black clad
>> figure.
>> Putting aside the scuba gear and the top of the wet suit, there stood
>> a drop-dead gorgeous blonde!
>>
>> The glamorous blonde strode up to the stunned Irishman and said to
>> him "Tell me, how long has it been since you've had a cigarette?"
>> "Ten years,"
>> replied the amazed Irishman. With that, she reached over and unzipped
>> a waterproofed pocket on the left sleeve or her wet suit, and pulled
>> out a fresh pack of cigarettes. He takes one, lights it, and takes a
>> long drag. "Faith and begorrah," said the man, "that is so good, I'd
>> almost forgotten how great a smoke can be!"
>>
>> "And how long has it been since you've had a drop of good Irish
>> whiskey?" asked the blonde. Trembling, the castaway replied, "Ten
>> years." Hearing that, the blonde reaches over to her right sleeve
>> unzips a pocket there and removes a flask and hands it to him. He
>> opened the flask and took a long drink.
>> "'Tis nectar of the gods!" stated the Irishman.
>> "'Tis truly fantastic!!!"
>>
>>
>>
>> At this point the gorgeous blonde started to slowly unzip the long
>> front of her wet suit, right down the middle. She looked at the
>> trembling man and asked, "And how long has it been since you played
>> around?"
>> With tears in his eyes, the Irishman fell to his knees and sobbed,
>> "Sweet Mother of God! Don't tell me you've got golf clubs in there
>> too!"

By the way, is "St. Andrews", the most famous golf course in the world located in Ireland? So what does this Aussie do to illustrate a fanatic golfer? He picks an Irishman! I always have suspected that Australia had relaxed its immigration laws and let in too many of those Scots! I just have one question for you, Billsleg. Can you name one single famous golfer who was Irish? No, I didn't think you could! It's OK. I forgive you -this time. I will stand still for all kinds of insults to the Irish -but don't accuse us of playing golf!

Not sure but isn't Jack Niclaus part Irish?
