  1. Paddy the Irishman, Paddy the Englishman and Paddy the Scotchman bought a loaf. They decided that whoever had the best dream should get the loaf. The Irishman ate the loaf that night. The next morning they told their dreams. The Englishman dreamt he had died and gone to heaven. The Scotchman dreamt he had died and gone to hell. "Well," said the Irishman, "I dreamt that you two died so I got up and ate the loaf."
