The difference between an Irish guy and an American guy

is the American guy looks at the rich man on the hill and says "someday I'll go up there and live in that house with him."

The Irish guy look at the rich guy up on the hill and says "someday I'll go up there and kick that guy's ass."

The smirk on the German banker's face at the end was very telling and annoying.
