Default Couldn't Resist

I re-found this gem in an old book, "Wise and Wacky
Wit" and I couldn't resist sharing it with the group.

That reminds me of my old friend Paddy McHolihan who worked at the
Guinness plant, and one day he fell into a huge vat of stout and
drowned. I was given the difficult task of informing mrs. McHholihan
the sad news about her husband's unfortunate demise. So I went over to
her house and told her the news.

She responded, "Oh Glen, that is so sad, but at least he died quickly
and didn't suffer"

I answered, "I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but it wasn't a quick
death. He had to climb out of the vat three times to relieve himself
before he died."
