When the Bible was brought to Ireland...

... Matthew 6: 1-4 was destroyed. Maybe scribbled on by some angry heathen or it got wet while it was taken across the canal, and so the ink blurred and the paragraph got illegible.
Anyway - it seems that the Irish have never heard of:
Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men.
Let me explain, what I mean: The Irish health system is quite bad, it seems. Thus, there is a lot of private fund raising, normally carried out by retired people who would spend long days on very uncomfortable looking chairs behind tiny folding tables, joggling collecting boxes.
Now, the interesting thing in Ireland is that if you donate some money, you will often get a fantastic looking sticker fixed to your jacket, so that everyone can see what a good fellow you are. As far as I understood, the ultimate goal seems to be that one can proudly approach a collector, give money generously and then say:
"Oh, Gosh, let me see if there is still some space on my jacket to put a sticker on!" Just to say (after having critically measured the tiny spare space between the hundreds of stickers): "Well, let's stick it onto an old one. Oh look, there's one from last week."
No - I mean, never underestimate a bad health system. I think it is exactly the Irish's bad health that has led to the dialect they speak. Or how would you say "Thirty thousand therapists think a lot" without any teeth? "Tirty tousand terapists tink a lot" - there you are. I just wonder - is this a case of biolinguistics?

I'm sure, I'll soon get tired of saying this: New quote, new quiz.
