"There were three men, an Irishman, an Englishman and a Welshman, and
they all climbed up to the top of a cliff. At the top they met a man,
and the man said "if you can take your watch and drop it down the cliff,
catch it again and bring it back up I will give you £500." The Welshman
thought he could do it, so he dropped his watch and ran all the way down
to the bottom of the cliff, and he came back up with his watch in
pieces. The Irishman thought he could do it as well, so he dropped his
watch and jumped down the cliff and came back with his watch intact, but
he was on a stretcher. The Englishman thought he could do it as well, so
he dropped his watch and walked slowly down the cliff, and he came back
up with his watch working. The man said, "how in the world did you do
that?" "I set my watch back two hours," said the Englishman. |
