Saw this on the Limewire website while downloading the latest version:

It's right up there with this gem from the US immigration forms:
| Quote: |
| Do you seek to enter the United States to engage in export control violations, subversive or terrorist activities, or any other unlawful purpose? Are you a member or representative of a terrorist organization as currently designated by the U.S. Secretary of State? |

let me tell you, they have no sense of humour if you tick "yes" to that question. |

Yeah, I know of a footballer from back home in Derry whose Northern Irish dark humour earned him a trip to the folks with rubber gloves at JFK.
-"Anything to declare?"
-"Aye, I've got a bomb in the bag." [dripping with enough sarcasm to drop an elephant]
Two days plus a plea from the ambassador/consulate before he got out. |

I had to go into the immigration room at JFK once after saying something I shouldn't-
they told me
"We're going to call the Bobbies" and then rang Scotland Yard
Immigration guy: "Hi, do you have anything outstanding on a James Creegan"
...
IG: "He says what do you look like?"
Me- standing right next to IG: "Umm, I'm 6 feet tall"
IG: "He's 6 feet tall"
Me "I have blue eyes"
IG "He's got blue eyes"
etc.
after the whole thing was cleared up the guy sent me on my way saying
"Hey buddy, the next time someone asks you if you did something, just say 'It wasn't me' OK?" |

They Northern Irish may have a dark sense of humour but that footballer showed all the intelligence of a, well..... a football player!!!
The PSNI (formerly RUC) don't have a sense of humour at all. Any joke is treated as dis-respect and puts you in the doo-doo. |
