| Irishman
An Irishman stumbles drunkenly into a buried pot and falls down. While on the ground he decides to see what tripped him. He finds the pot and starts rubbing the dirt off to see if it is worth anything.
A Genie pops out of the pot. She offers him 3 wishes.
Befuddled the drunk Irishman remarks there is no such thing as Genies. The Genie offers to prove it by granting his first wish.
The Irishman thinks for a minute and says " Ok, I want a never empty mug of ale."
The Genie does her little magic trick and POOF the mug appears.
The Irishman takes the mug and drinks it down. Then he watches in amazement as the mug refills with ale. He drinks it all down again and sees it once again refill.
The Genie asks the Irishman if he knows what his last 2 wishes will be. The Irishmen says " Why yes I do" " I will have two more mugs like the first one."
