“A Frenchman, Scotchman and an Irishman met one another.”
A Frenchman, Scotchman and an Irishman met one another. The Frenchman boasted that he was once taken for Napoleon. The Scotchman said that one time he was mistaken for Robert Burns. Paddy told them that one day he was walking down Grafton St., and a friend on the other side of the street shouted "Holy Moses is that you".
