An old joke: two provos are sitting in a pub when an untrustworthy character enters.

One provo says "an gceapann tú gur ‘informer’ é?

The other responds “ní ceapaim”

I won’t pretend I didn’t use google translate there :smiley:

(For those who don’t speak Irish:

an gceapann tú gur informer é?
"Do you think he’s an informer?

Ní ceapaim.
means: “I don’t think so.”
Is pronounced, more or less: “Knee-cap’im”)

… of course it was also about a lot of other stuff
