The latter does sound wonderfully Irish.  On the other hand, I think I
wax positively English in the caustic wording I employ for notes on
windshields of people who'ved blocked handicapped parking zones:

  "Dear Sir:

  I'm afraid that being morally handicapped doesn't count."

Modus tollens.  Contrapositive.
