Topic: An Irishman and an Italian

[Clive]

An Irishman and an Italian go into a pastry shop.
 
The Italian whisks three cookies into his pocket with lightening speed. The baker doesn't notice. The Italian says to the Irishman: "You see how clever us Italians are?
 
You Irishmen can never beat that!"
 
The Irishman says to the Italian: "Watch this, any Irishman is smarter than an Italian and I'll prove it to you."
 
He says to the baker, "Give me a cookie, I'll show you a magic trick!"
 
The baker gives him the cookie, which the Irishman promptly eats.
 
Then he says to the baker: "Give me another cookie for my magic trick."
 
The baker is getting suspicious, but he gives it to him.
 
He eats this one, too. Then he says again: "Give me one more cookie. “
 
The baker is getting angry now, but gives him one anyway.
 
The Irishman eats this one, too.
 
Now the baker is really mad, and he yells: "And where is this famous magic trick?"
 
The Irishman says, "Look in the Italian's pocket!"
