The Irishman and the Woman.

An Irishman was sitting in the depot smoking the other day when a woman came in and sitting down remarked: “Sir if you were a gentleman you wouldn't smoke here.” “Mum,” he said, "If yez wuz a leddy ye'd sit further away.” Pretty soon the woman burst out: "If you were my husband I’d give you poison. 7 "Well, mum," returned the Irishman as he puffed away at his pipe, “If yez wuz me woife I’d take It."
