- An Irish man once met a Jew. Each man wore a whisker. The Jew said to the Irish man "There are more saints in my country than in yours." The Irish man said there were more in Ireland. The Jew said for every Saint he would name he[?] would pull a hair out of the Irish man's whisker. The Jew started and he thought he would be too[?] good for the Irish man.
The Jew said "The Twelve Apostles" and he pulled twelve hairs out of the Irish man's beard. The Irish man was angry then and he said "The Dublin Fusiliers" and he pulled the whole beard out of the Jew.- Collector
