Only in Ireland! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

A Dutchman was explaining the red, white and blue Netherlands flag to an American. “Our flag is symbolic of our taxes. We see red when talk about them, white when we get our tax bills and blue after we pay them”. The American nodded, “It’s the same in the USA, only we also see stars”.

Hygiene was important, but people had a completely diferent view of what exactly that meant (if you see what doctors of that era recommended...). And this was of course long before the germ theory of disease. Different times, different habits...
