You want to watch out, Yogi Gupta will be after you for indulging in
racial slurs! This is an international forum you know!

I've got one to contribute. It's better told aloud, with the accent:

Paddy takes a job as a builder's labourer, and he's not very good at it.
After a day the foreman takes him aside and says "I'm soryy but we'll
have to let you go. You're hopeless, you can't tell a girder from a joist."

"I can so," replies Paddy. "Girder wrote 'Faust' and Joist wrote
'Finnegan's Wake'!"
