A cat is chasing a mouse around a pub for the better part of the day. Finally, the cat gets the upper hand, and corners the mouse. He puts a pint jar over top of the mouse and, knowing how crafty mouse is, puts a quart jar over top of that. Says the mouse, "You can't eat me this way. At least give me a sporting chance."
"Oh no! If I do that, you'll run into that hole in the wall."
"Sure, but I wouldn't do such a thing. That would hardly be fair!"
"You mean, if I take off thes jars, you promise not to run into that hole."
"Certainly"
The cat removes the jars, and the mouse runs into the hole.
"You told me, that if I let you out, You wouldn't run into that hole!!!"
Says the mouse," Sure, but you'd say anything with a couple of jars on!"



I heard thisfrom Brendan Begley.
