Paddy and Mick

Two Irishmen, Paddy and Mick, were adrift in a life boat.

While rummaging through the boat's provisions Paddy stumbled across an old lamp.

As you might expect, he rubbed it vigorously and sure enough, as you might expect, out popped a genie.

This genie however was a little different. He said he could only deliver one wish, not the standard three.

Without giving much thought, Mick blurted out, "Turn the entire ocean into beer. Make that Guiness!"

The genie clapped his hands with a deafening crash, and immediately the sea turned into that hard-earned thirst quencher. His abbreviated work done, the genie vanished.

Only the gentle lapping of beer on the hull broke the stillness as the two men considered their circumstances.

Paddy looked disgustedly at Mick whose wish had been granted.

After a long, tension-filled moment Paddy said, "Nice going idiot!

Now we're going to have to piss in the boat."
