An Englishman wanted to become an Irishman, so he visited a doctor to find
out how to go about this. "Well" said the doctor, "this is a very delicate
operation and there is a lot that can go wrong. I will have to remove half
your brain". "That's OK" said the Englishman. "I've always wanted to be
Irish and I'm prepared to take the risk".

The operation went ahead but the Englishman woke to find a look of horror on
the face of the doctor. "I'm so terribly sorry!!" the doctor said. "Instead
of removing half the brain, I've taken the whole brain out". The patient
replied, "No worries, mate!!"
