Each was to pull a hair out of the other's whisker for each saint he could name; the Irishman said St Patrick and pulled a hair out of the Jew's whisker. The Jew said St Peter and pulled a hair out of the Irishman's whisker. Paddy said the Holy Trinity and took three from the Jew. The Jew said the Twelve Apostles and pulled twelve hairs out of Paddy's whisker. Paddy says The Dublin Fusiliers and pulled the whole whisker of the Jew.
