    A Funny Story - Three Tailors
    One fine Summer's day three tailors met. One was an Englishman, another a Scotchman, and the other an Irishman.
    They had an argument to see which would make the best suit of clothes.
    The Englishman said "I would make a suit of clothes if I saw a man walking out before me."
    The scotchman said "If I was at a corner and to see a man passing on a bicycle I would make a suit to fit him better than he ever got."
    The Irishman said "If I only saw the corner round which the man turned I would make a suit to fit him."
