The Irishman didn't know..

An Irishman is sitting in a pub. In the same pub are three Englishmen.

"Look how angry I'm going to make this Irishman," says one of the Englishmen. He goes up to the Irishman and says, "Saint Patrick was an asshole."

"Oh my," says the Irishman, shaking his head sadly, "I didn't know."

The Englishman returns to his friends, disappointed. "Let me try," says one of his friends.

He in turn goes up to the Irishman and says, "Saint Patrick was a coward, a liar and a thief."

"Oh really?" says the Irishman, shaking his head, "I didn't know."

The Englishmen are disappointed. "I have an idea," says the third one. "You'll see how angry he'll get."

He goes up to the Irishman and says, "Saint Patrick was English."





"Yes, I know," says the Irishman. "Your friends have already explained it to me."

A Scottish lad and lass were sitting together on a heathery hill in the Highlands.

They had been silent for a while; then the lass said, "A penny for your thoughts."

The lad was a bit bashful, but he finally said, "Well, I was thinkin' how nice it would be if ye'd give me a wee bit of a kiss." So she did so.

But the young Scot again lapsed into a pensive mood which lasted long enough for the lass to ask him, "What are ye thinkin' now?"

To which the lad replied, "Well, I was hopin' ye hadn't forgot the penny!"

well as a Scot..I take great exception to you inferring we're pennypinchers..

Oh, I didn’t know. When did the penny pinching fall out of favor?
