There was an Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman and they all found themselves in some spurious scenario in which their fate was determined by answering some extremely contrived question. The Englishman answered first and gave an answer that was considered ‘normal’. The Scotsman came next and gave an answer that was normal but had a stereotypically Scottish flavour. The chances are that his answer was whisky, tartan or haggis. The Irishman answered last and his response was something really silly that demonstrated a fundamental misunderstanding of the question. His answer led to some hilarious consequences.
It’s worth pointing out that the three men were great friends and their respective nationalities were never an issue amongst them. To be honest, they’d all be pretty offended that they had been labelled by the country of their birth. Their names were actually Charles, Liam and Angus and they’d like to be seen as people, first and foremost.
And you’re probably assuming that you know which was which, but you’d be wrong. Charles was Irish, Angus was English and Liam was Scottish. You’re bordering on being racist. Yeah?
Anyway, the whole story is a little misleading as Angus, ‘The Englishman’ was by far the least intelligent of the men, and only answered ‘normally’ as he had a distinct lack of imagination. Liam, ‘The Scotsman’ tended to give clichéd Scottish answers as it made his friends laugh. Charles, ‘The Irishman’ was extremely intelligent and only gave stupid answers to be ironic.
This is the end of my joke.
