Paddy Englishman and Paddy Irishman Paddy Englishman and Paddy Irishman are walking along the beach together, when they come upon a lamp in the sand. Being familiar with such clichés, they picked up the lamp, rubbed it, and lo and behold a genie appeared before them. "For releasing me from my prison, I shall grant you both one wish each." Paddy Englishman goes first, and thinks silently for a moment: "Well, genie, I love my country, and I'm sick of it being ruined by lazy immigrants who do nothing but live off of state benefits and handouts. I wish all the immigrants were gone from my country, and that it was just us English that lived there. Furthermore, I want a giant wall built around the coast and borders of England so nobody else can get in." "Done" says the genie, and **poof** Paddy Englishman is back in England with the rest of his compatriots "Genie," says Paddy Irishman, "tell me more of this giant wall surrounding England" "Well, it's over a mile high and half a mile thick. Nothing can get in or out." the genie replied Paddy Irishman thought for a moment, then looked to the genie and said: "Fill it with water."
