My Boyfriend recently told me this Irish joke:
Three men walk into a bar; an American, an Englishman, and an Irishman.
They each order a pint of ale.
The American reaches for his glass and sees a fly in it. Without hesitation, he flicks the fly out of his glass, and drinks without a second thought.
The Englishman grabs his glass and finds a fly in his ale also. Very carefully he pulls out his handkerchief and lays it neatly on the bar. He gently plucks the fly from the glass and places it on the hankie. He then folds the hankie back up neatly, and places back into his pocket, then drinks his ale.
The Irishman looks in his glass, and finds a fly in his beer also. Engraged, he plunges his fist into the glass to grab the fly. Clenching the fly in his fist, he shouts "Spit it up you Bloody Little Thief!"
