English-Irish Car Crash

Two men, one English and one Irish man, driving too fast at night on a wet, winding road, collide on a sharp bend. Both cars are destroyed, but the men are unhurt and, in celebration of their luck, agree to put aside their dislike for the other's nationality.

To seal the deal, the Englishman goes to the boot and fetches a bottle of 12-year-old whiskey. He hands the bottle to the Irishman, who exclaims, "May the Irish and the English live together in harmony!" before tipping the bottle and swallowing half of it down. Still disbelieving his luck, the Irishman hands the bottle to the Englishman.

"No thanks," the Englishman said, waving it off. "I think I'll just wait until the Police get here."
