- An Irishman was working in a coal mine in England.
One day some of his English companions, thought they would play a joke on him, so they drew an ass's head on his coat. When Paddy went to put on his coat he saw the ass's head, and turning to his companions he said, "Which of you cleaned your face in my coat."
