Three travelers — an American, a Russian, and an Egyptian — were circumnavigating the globe a la Jules Verne.
The Russian man put his hand out and reached down into the clouds.
“Aah, we’re right over my homeland!” he said.
“How can you tell?” asked the American.
“I can feel the cold air,” he replied.
A few days later, the African man put his hand through the clouds.
“Aah, we’re right over my homeland!” he said.
“How do you know that?” asked the Russian.
“I can feel the heat of the desert,” he replied.
Several more days later, the American put his hand through the clouds.
“Aah, we’re right over New York!”
The Russian and the African were amazed.
“How do you know all of that?” they asked.
The American pulled his hand in and held it up for them to see. “My watch is missing.”
Three guys, one Irish, one English, and one Scottish are out walking along the beach together one day.
They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it.
“I will give you each one wish, that’s three wishes in total,” says the Genie.
The Scottish guy says, “I am a fisherman, my Dad’s a fisherman, his Dad was a fisherman and my son will be one too. I want all the oceans full of fish for all eternity.”
So, with a blink of the Genie’s eye “poof” the oceans were teeming with fish.
The Englishman was amazed, so he said, “I want a wall around England, protecting her, so that no one will get in for all eternity.”
Again, with a blink of the Genie’s eye “poof” there was a huge wall around England.
The Irishman asks, “I’m very curious. Please tell me more about this wall.”
The Genie explains, “Well, it’s about 150 feet high, 50 feet thick, protecting England so that nothing can get in or out.”
