Irish Girls
Okay folks, this joke might need some translation.
Dublin is split by the river Liffey into North and south. Northsiders are regarded by Southsiders as being poor, thick etc. (Out of interest Northsiders consider Southsiders to be limp wristed poofs, but that's not relevant).
So, you can pretty much Translate most of these lines into Blondes or Essex Girls.

Why is it the south of somewhere always considers the north to be lower class? Take Britain for example.

Interesting point. Even in Canada we all call the northerners Eskimos.
Of course, this is actually true, so maybe it isn't much of an example

Just the opposite in the US. Southerners are the ones that people have the most fun laughing at around here! Must have something to do with those funny appendages on Texas, Florida and Louisiana.

No it's your tolerance, open-mindedness and environmental concern that really wins us over!

Well, our intolerance will die off with the generations. We are just slower, being older and very into family.
As to the close-mindedness, well... that is a direct result of being in the Bible Belt, and I, being agnostic, take no responsibility for that. I would be more than happy to drop the religous trousers, as it were.
We are actually very concerned about the environment (being agri-based), we just aren't terribly active in global matters. We don't have any oil or forests. We do replant trees here, but we do that so we can keep hunting the deer. When we usually get up in arms about environmental problems it is because some hog farm is dumping waste, or Virginia is wanting to borrow water because they fouled the Cheasapeke. Very local issues.

Of course being from Sydney we considered everyone else to be dense and beneath contempt. Our major saving grace is we aren't parochial.
Actually we just think that about Queenslanders, their a bit slow above the border and haven't got the joke yet.

The reason we usually call northsiders knackers and skumbags is because most of them are.

I thought 'Eskimo' was very non-PC term nowadays. Aren't the Inuits or something now?
So then whom do Lapplanders insult?
Wait, I know- they go right over the North Pole and end up.... you guessed it..... in Oz!

I need to stay away from the aluminum.
There is a movie that I saw in the early 90s about a bunch of Dubliners trying to make a band. I can't think of the movie, so I can't give this quote from the movie. It was funny, but oh well.

I was thinking "The Contenders" or "The Contempraries", but no, it was "The Commitments".
IMDB has only this:
The Irish are the blacks of Europe. Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland. North Dubliners are the blacks of Dublin.
But there was more to it. It ended in "I'm black, and I'm proud."
