The Irish Perception Of Time

A Dubliner boards a bus and asks the driver how long the trip is between Limerick and Cork.

“It’s about 2 hours,” says the driver.

“Thanks,” says the Dubliner. “Well then how long is the trip between Cork and Limerick?”

The driver is now a little angry, and says “It’s still about 2 hours. Why do you think there would be a difference?”

“Well,” says the Dubliner , “It’s only a week between Christmas and New Year, but it’s an awful lot longer than that between New Year and Christmas!”
