Internal Revenue… Army?

With all the commotion on the news about immigration, we’ve started a discussion about it in the office.

Me: “Technically, I’m an immigrant.”

Coworker: “No, you’re not! You’re an American!”

Me: “Both of those things can be true. I was born in Ireland, and my parents brought me over when I was a baby.”

Coworker: “Why? Ireland is so pretty!”

Me: “It is, but I think the IRA blowing up all the houses at the time ruined the view a bit.”

Coworker: “Well, then those people should have paid their taxes!”

The entire office goes into a confused silence for a moment, and then:

Manager: “IRA, [Coworker]! IRA!”
