    There was once an american man and an Irishman "Pat". The American was boasting about the heat in America. He said that it was so hot that it was burning the wings of the flies. "Thats nothing" said Pat compare to the heat that is in Ireland. They have to feed the hens on ice-cream to keep them from laying hard boiled eggs.
