The English and Americans dislike only some Irishthe same Irish that the Irish themselves detest, Irish writersthe ones that think I am a daylight atheist. When I came back to Dublin I was courtmartialled in my absence and sentenced to death in my absence, so I said they could shoot me in my absence. All publicity is good, except an obituary notice. Critics are like eunuchs in a harem: they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves. Pound notes are the best religion in the world. Other people have a nationality. The Irish and the Jews have a psychosis.

Extractions: letztes Update: BEHAN, Brendan, 1923-64, Irish playwright. He was born in Dublin, a child of the tenements. Behan credited his education to his prison terms, though he owed much to his family, well-read, and of strong Republican sympathies. At 14 he joined the IRA, an spent two years in an English Borstal, convicted in 1939 of carrying explosives. Released an deported, in 1942 he got 14 years for shooting at a policeman during an IRA ceremony. Amnestied in 1947, Behan continued the writing begun in prison, mainly short stories in an inventive stylisation of Dublin vernacular. His plays brought him celebrity. In 1954 the Pike Theatre presented The Quare Fellow , a grimly comic drama of the hours preceding a prison hanging. Much more than propaganda against judicial execution, it captures, with remarkable economy of form and a neutrality of tone, the condition of the outcast and the emotions excited by barbaric revenge. Joan Littlewood's 1956 Theatre Workshop production in London made Behan famous. Success was unmanageable. Behan's irresolute discipline collapsed into prolonged drinking bouts. The Hostage (1958), his next play, derived from his one-act Gaelic play

http://www.users.bigpond.com/kirwilli/jokes/Behan.htm

Extractions: These few jokes have been attributed to the wise cracking of Brendan Behan, who could doubt that. This is a true story of the late Irish author Brendan Behan who one night collapsed in a diabetic coma in a Dublin street. It was at a time when he was at the height of his drunken notoriety and passes-by naturally thought he was dead drunk. They took him to the nearby surgery of one of Dublin's most fashionable and respected doctors. The doctor decided to take a cardiograph and, somewhat nervous of his patient, thought to humor him. He explained the workings of the cardiograph needle as it registered the faint heartbeats of the very sick and semiconscious Brendan. "That needle there is writing down your pulses, Mr. Behan, and I suppose, in its own way, it is probably the most important thing you have ever written." To which Behan replied: "Aye, and it's straight from me heart, too." Brendan Behan, late Irish author, was the soul of courtesy, but there were times when he could give back as good as he got. Brendan and a friend were emerging from the Long Hall in Dublin during the Christmas season, and Brendan had the misfortune to bump into a lady laden with parcels, the result being to scatter her parcels all over the pavement. Brendan promptly stooped to recover them from among the feet of the passers-by and restore them to her arms, but her ladyship's temper was not satisfied. "I'd have you know," she declared angrily, "that my husband's a detective, and, if he was here, he'd take ye!"
