"Moral Dilemma"
I'm offended by your "Moral Dilemma" question because you are misusing your position to make a political statement. If you used the name of the French president instead what kind of response would your international readers have? Grow up.

My answer
Our Irish friend Mick Harkin, send me the joke about Bush. I redirected your message to him. I hope that you have no doubt about our capacity to disseminate good jokes in French about Chirac.

The Brothel
Two Irishmen were sitting in a pub having beer and watching the brothel across the street. They saw a Baptist minister walk into the brothel, and one of them said, "Aye, 'tis a shame to see a man of the cloth goin' bad." Then they saw a Rabbi enter the brothel, and the other Irishman said, "Aye, 'tis a shame to see that the Jews are fallin' victim to temptation." Then they saw a Catholic priest enter the brothel, and one of the Irishmen said, "What a terrible pity...one of the girls must be quite ill."
