A top drawer international finance conference in a glitzy Dublin Hotel had closed. Delegates were in the hotel's plush chrome and tinted-glass bar.
An English delegate said: "This bar is way too expense. In London on a Friday evening I'd be in the Pig And Whistle pub. If you had four Gin and Tonics, the fifth was free.
A Scotsman said: "On a Friday evening in McTavish's pub, if I had three single malts the next single malt was on the house.
An Irish delegate said. "Murphy's Pub is two blocks from here. If you have one Guinness, for the rest of Friday night you could drink for free and if you wanted, get laid upstairs for free."
"Pull the other leg Paddy," the Scots delegate said. "That can't be true."
Paddy responded "I swear on my mother's grave that what I said is absolutely true."
The English delegate asked "You mean that happened - to you - personally?"
"Not to me, but it happens on most Friday nights to my sister Kathleen."
