Irish Cliches
Speaking of Irish cliches, I did enjoy watching American reactions to the Aer Lingus hostess who, when you chose your Coke, or Sprite, or whatever, would really enthusiastically ask you if you wanted ice with that, almost as if she was telling you you’d won a major prize. In almost all cases the reply she got was one of confused silence.
And when you finally complied you received your cliched two cubes of ice, which is exactly half the amount you receive in Kansas City when you ask for no ice.
