  1. Three men paid a visit to London. One scotch one Irish and one a native. Just as Big Ben was striking ten they were near London Tower. Each man got his choice in what he would take and sit on London Tower till morning.
    "If I am supplied with a bottle of good whiskey, some bread and cheese I dont mind" said the English man.
    The Scotchie replied by asking:- "How much will I get?
    Pat wisely answered:- I would take a "courld"."
