I know an Irishman that married a little Jewish woman and then went completely over-board trying to be a Jew. They never made good Catholics and became even worse protestants. "Paddy and Murphy went out one day and each bought a pig. When they got home, Paddy turned to Murphy and said, "Murphy, how we gonna tell who owns which pig?" Murphy says, "Well Paddy, I'll cut one a ta' ears off my pig, and ten we can tell 'em apart." "Ah, tat'd be grand," says Paddy. This worked fine for a couple of weeks until Paddy stormed into the house. "Murphy," he said, "Your pig has chewed the ear off my pig. Now we got two pigs with one ear each. How we gonna tell who owns which pig?" "Well Paddy," said Murphy, "I'll cut ta other ear off my pig. Ten we'll av two pigs and only one of them will av one ear." "Ah, tat'd be grand," says Paddy. Again this worked OK until a couple of weeks later, when Paddy again stormed into the house. "Murphy," he said, "Your pig has chewed the other ear off my pig. Now we got two pigs with no ears! How we gonna tell who owns which pig?" "Ah, tis is serious," said Murphy, "I'll tell ya what I'll do. I'll cut ta tail off my pig, ten we'll av two pigs with no ears and only one with a tail." "Ah, tat'd be grand," says Paddy. Another couple of weeks went by and you guessed it, Paddy stormed into the house once more. "Murphy!" shouted Paddy, "Your pig has chewed the tail off my pig and now we got two pigs with no ears and no tails! How are we ever gonna tell 'em apart?" "Ah, fook it!" says Murphy, "How about you have the black one, and I'll have the white one?"
