Irish Stand-off

Overzealous arguement over who will pick up a bill that can and often does end in physical confrontation - usually credit cards and money being taken from the other party preventing them paying.
From an eposide of the irish sit com Father Ted, where Mrs Doyle and her friend Mrs Dineen have just had afternoon tea and the bill arrives resulting in an irish stand-off:

Mrs Doyle: Oh, no, Mrs Dineen. I'll get this.

Mrs Dineen: We'd better be off, Mrs Doyle. I'll get this.

Mrs Doyle: Oh, no, Mrs Dineen. I'll get this.

Mrs Dineen: No, now don't be silly. I'll pay.

Mrs Doyle: You won't! Put that away.

Mrs Dineen: Now, don't be stupid, Mrs Doyle.

Mrs Doyle: No, no, no, no!

Mrs Dineen: Now, just put your money away.

Mrs Doyle: You're mad! No, no, no, no.

Mrs Dineen: Take the money! Take the money!

(Both shouting and screaming)

Mrs Dineen: Get off!

Mrs Doyle: I'm writing a cheque.
Mrs Dineen: No, you're not!

Mrs Doyle: I am.

Irish Roulette

A concept similar to that of Russian Roulette, but a semi-automatic firearm is used in place of the six-shooter. While the odds vary depending on the quality of the weapon itself, there is rarely a clear cut winner.
"So who won that match of Irish Roulette yesterday?"
"... It was a draw."
