A Scotsman, an Irishman, and an Englishman are each sentenced to a year in solitary confinement; before being locked away, each is to be granted a year's supply of whatever he wants to help him get through the long, long spell alone.
One year later, the doors are all unlocked.
- The Scotsman asks for a year's supply of whisky; it's given to him and he's locked away.
- The Irishman asks for a year's supply of Guinness so he's locked up with several thousand bottles of it.
- The Englishman asks for a year's supply of cigarettes and he's given a pile of cartons and the cell door is shut on him.
- The Scotsman staggers out and shouts, 'I'm free!' and then keels over dead from alcohol poisoning.
- The Irishman is dragged out into the light, whereupon he promptly dies of liver failure.
- When the door to the Englishman's cell is opened, everybody watches eagerly to see what sort of a wreck the man has made of himself.
To their surprise, he walks right out the door, sidles up to the first person he sees, and asks, 'I say you wouldn't happen to have a match, would you?'
The version I found had the Englishman shouting 'Weeeeee'.Got told off by my sister for not being politically correct when I told this one to my daughter, it was a favourite at her age:
And Englishman, Irishman, and a Scotsman are exploring a jungle when they come across an ancient stone slide with a sign that reads “Whatever ye shall utter when descending, ye shall land in infinite amounts of”
The Englishman decides to go first and jumps down the slide shouting “Goooooolllldd!!” and lands in a massive pile of gold coin. He excited fills his pockets and leaves the pit.
The Scotsman goes next, shouting “Diamonds!” And sure enough lands in a massive pile of diamonds, he gets our filling his boots.
Finally the Irishman has his turn, but as he slides he forgets what he’s doing and is having a great time and shouts “Weeeeee!”
To top it all it's a Scottish wordThe version I found had the Englishman shouting 'Weeeeee'.
Just shows you the nationalities can be switched around to suit the audience.
