Pat wins again
There was once an Irish man an English man and a Scotch man who were sentenced to be hanged.
Each of them got permission to choose the tree they would like to be hung on. The Scotch man said he would like to be hung on the highest tree in Scotland. The English man said on an oak tree. The Irish man said he would be satisfied with a gooseberry tree.
They said it would not hang him as it was too small. He said he was not in a hurry and would wait until it would grow. So the Irish man was not hanged at all.
