Two English businessmen in London were sitting down for a break in
their soon-to-be new store. As yet, the store wasn't ready, with only
a few shelves set up.
One said to the other, 'I bet any minute now some idiot tourist is
going to walk by, put his face to the window, and ask what we're
selling.'
No sooner were the words out of his mouth when, sure enough, a curious
Irishman walked to the window, had a peek, and in a thick Irish accent
asked 'What might ye be sellin' here?'
One of the men replied sarcastically,
'We're selling ass-holes.'
Without skipping a beat, the Irishman said,
'You must be doing well .... only two left!'
Englishmen (God bless them) should learn
not mess with the Irish!!!!!

"When we set out on this record it was Larry who came up with the plan not to have a plan. He put up this idea that wouldn’t it be great just to make music for its own sake, not for the purpose of a live show or on album but just to see what we’re capable of.."
