These three English guys are out drinking one night and decide that they want to have a fight. They stagger from pub to pub looking for a likely victim to pick on when they come across a single Irishman in this one bar.

"Watch this," says the first Englishman, heading over toward the guy, "I hear that St Patrick was a shift lifter."

"Really." Says the Irishman, calmly continuing to drink.

With that, the second English guy decides to join in, "Yeah, and here he was a pervert too."

"Is that so?" the still calm Irishman responds.

The third Englishman says, "I know how to rile this tosser."

He staggers toward the Irishman, and says "Hey, did you know St Patrick was really an Englishman?"

The Irish guy casually looks up and says, "Yeah, so your mates were telling me."
