Sorry about the indents this came in an e mail originating from someone who obviously does not know how to set up a computer.
The rain was pouring down and there standing in front of a
big puddle outside the pub, was an old Irishman.
He's just drenched an holding a stick with a piece of string dangling in the
water.
A passer-by stopped and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Fishing" replied the old man....
Feeling sorry for the old man, the gent said,
"Come in out of the rain and have a drink with me."
In the warmth of the pub, as they sip their whiskeys,
the gentleman cannot resist asking,
"So how many have you caught today?"
"You're the eighth" said the old man.
Moral: NEVER fool with OLD people, especially when they are Irish!
