There were four explorers, an Englishman, a Scotsman, a German and an Irishman in deepest Africa walking throough the jungle when they were captured and brought before the local chief. "You have desecrated the sacred grounds of our ancestors", said the chief, "You will each receive 500 lashes. But because I am a merciful man, each of you can have anything you wish on your back beforehand." The Englishman said that he wanted two litres of the best palmoil. (he was pro European Union). The Scotsman said that he wanted two bottles of Scotch Whisky on his. The German declared that he wanted nothing on his and that he would take his punishment like a man. Fianlly it was the Irishman's turn and when asked what he wanted on his back, he said, "The German."
