  1. Paddy an Irishman was in America one day. He was walking up this street and he saw a man with his head out in the window. Paddy said to him that there were lovely buildings in this street but the man replied that those buildings were only stables compared to the ones up in another street. Paddy said that he was thinking so much when he saw the asses head out in the window.
