    “Long ago an Irishman landed in America.”

    Share Share Post
    Long ago an Irishman landed in America.He had met with some friends. They went in to a public house to have some drink. After a while the landlady noticed him spitting on the floor. She took a spitoon and placed it in front of him. He turned away from it and spat on the floor again. She again put it in front of him. He said to her then. You had better take that plate and dont I spit in to it.
