Thought I’d share this laugh:

During a recent password audit at the Bank of Ireland it was found that Paddy O’Toole was using the following password: MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofyDublin

When Paddy was asked why he had such a long password: he replied ”Bejazus! are yez f*ckin’ stupid? The bank told me password had to be at least 8 characters long and include one capital”

Don’t ever think you can outwit the Irish!
