Are U2 Irish?

My dad, sister and I were driving home the other night when a U2 song came on the radio. He asked us if we knew what the song was about (Sunday Bloody Sunday). I knew, and mentioned it's unfortunate source. My sister then asks from the back seat "Are U2 Irish?" to which my dad responds "Nope! We're Canadian!" and then begins laughing so hard that he is practically in tears and snorting. He didn't stop for a good 2 or 3 minutes. My sister and I just shook our heads slowly.

Dad dropped this one on me many years ago at a restaurant.

We walk into a restaurant and are immediately seated, and several minutes later our waiter comes to greet us and asks if we'd like to start with anything.

Dad: Uh, you know, I think we're going to need a few more minutes to decide.

Waiter: Of course! I'll be back to check on you in a few minutes. No Rush!

Dad: looks at me Huh... I wonder what she has against Canadian rock bands from the 80's...
