This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

'Irish logic' is where things are backwards, in a specific way. It's kind of a single mindedness. Usually it's a misunderstanding-based joke, not exactly stupidity, but a silly perspective. E.g. it takes more Irishmen to change a light bulb because one holds it and the others swing the ceiling round.
I'm first generation Irish immigrant, and my family loves these kinds of jokes, we don't see it as hateful. But I wouldn't tell them around any old Irish person.
1 to hold the bulb, 2 to turn the ladder
