Ethnic jokes
An Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irishman were
without tickets for the opening ceremonies of the summer Olympics
but
hoped to be able to talk their way in at the gate. Security was
very
tight, however, and each of their attempts was met with a
stern refusal.
While wandering around outside the stadium, the
Englishman came upon
construction site, which gave him an idea. Grabbing
a length of
scaffolding, he presented himself at the gate and said,
"Johnson, the pole
vault," and was admitted.
The Scotsman,
overhearing this, went at once to search the site. When
he came up
with a sledge hammer, he presented himself at the gate and
said,
"McTavish, the hammer." He was also admitted.
The Irishman combed
the site for an hour and was nearly ready to give
up when he spotted
his ticket in. Seizing a roll of barbed wire, he
presented himself
at the gate and announced, "O'Sullivan, fencing."
