    A Funny Story.
    An Irishman and an Englishman were working in the same job. The man over them sent the Irishman in a message. But before he went he took off his coat. The Englishman drew a donkey's head on it. When the Irishman came home he said "is it you that wiped your face on my coat?" And never afterwards did the Englishman try to have a joke at the Irishman.
