I don't know about Swiss rules, he's got Swiss parents.  But you can get Irish citizenship (like me) if you've Irish grandparents (like me).

Edit: The more important question is why would you want to be Swiss? :blink: :bleeding:

No, no Irish grandparents (thank god).

Why would I want to be Swiss?  I like guns and refuse to cooperate with my vastly inferior neighbors. :)

What about great-great grandparents?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You and she should dress up as Al Bundy and that Colombian chick with the big tits for Halloween.

I'd be up for that.  Just about every episode of Modern Family she does or says something similar to things my wife has done or said.

I'm with Cal.  If you're gonna do the Euro thing, be Swiss.

Seriously?  The most tedious, smug, cravenly rulebound country in Europe?  Luxembourg's got more joie de vivre.

Then be German.  At least they get beer and a dubious relationship with history.  The Swiss just have a sense of self-righteousness.  They're like Scandinavians without the casual sex.

Today I had a phone call with my company's CIO (who is Indian)

Me: <explaining problem>
Him: <explaining answer in strong Indian accent>
Me: "Uh, I'll email you"

:P

Booze is probably cheaper and easier to get in Switzerland though. No contest with Luxemburg as you said indeed.
