Hi folks, This is an Irish joke, but I have no qualms about sending it as I am Irish myself. So please, no mail about being bigotted. I don't know if it has been posted before and I can't remember where I heard it. An Irishman, an Englishman and a Scotsman were all sentenced to 50 years in solitary confinement. Before they were locked in their cells, they were each told that they could take one thing with them. The Englishman chose a woman, the Scottish man chose a crate of whiskey and the Irishman chose a carton of cigarettes. The 50 years passed, and the day came for them to be released. The Englishman was first and he emerged beaming from ear to ear having been quite satisfied with the woman that had been provided. Next was the Scottish man, who had to be helped out (as we know, the Scots have trouble holding their liquer :-]). Finally, they opened the Irishman's cell. The Irishman, looking rather puzzled, popped his head out and asked "Anyone got a match ?" !! -- Mike Walsh -- Edited by Brad Templeton.
