What were the first jokes you ever learned as a child? There is a good chance that they were the ones about the three Paddys. This book is a celebration of all three Paddies.
Paddy the Englishman, Paddy the Irishman and Paddy the Scotsman took up a collection for their church and the problem arose as to how much they should give to the church.
'I draw a line on the ground', said Paddy the Englishman, 'and I throw all the money up in the air. What falls to the left of that line, I keep for myself and what falls to the right of the line I give to the church.'
'I draw a circle on the ground', said Paddy the Scotsman, 'and I too throw all the money up in the air. What falls outside the circle I keep for myself and what falls inside the circle I give to the church.'
'I just throw all the money up in the air, said Paddy the Irishman, and what God doesn't want he throws down again.'
