 A Little Irish Fun on St. Patty's Day

 Three guys, one Irish, one English, and one Scottish, are out walking along the beach together one day. They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it. "I will give you each one wish, that's three wishes in total", says the Genie.

The Scottish guy says, "I am a fisherman, my Dad's a fisherman, his Dad was a fisherman and my son will be one too. I want all the oceans full of fish for all eternity." So, with a blink of the Genie's eye FOOM! the oceans were teaming with fish.

The Englishman was amazed, so he said, "I want a wall around England, protecting her, so that no one will get in for all eternity." Again, with a blink of the Genie's eye POOF! there was a huge wall around England.

The Irishman asks, "I'm very curious. Please tell me more about this wall." The Genie explains, "well, it's about 150 feet high, 50 feet thick, protecting England so that nothing can get in or out." The Irishman says, "Fill it up with water."

David...they would probably laugh as it's just Irish humor.  Let's ask Sheldon!!!  He knows everything Brittish!

Thanks Cynthia - you too!

Michael - I thought so too!

Lori - what a combination - a winning one at that!

Ed - re- tell is an Irish thing, right?  Over and over and over and over!

Wanda - agreed,  So so wrong!  But hey - it's St Patty's Day!

Anna - Maybe I overthinked this joke, but if the Englishman made the wish for the wall, he can't get back in. Or are the 3 of them in England when he makes the wish, and then the other 2 guys drown unnecessarily?  So confused.

 

Happy St. Paddy's Day!
