Paddy had just gained employment as a Irish Tour guide in Dublin. His first assignment was to show three brash Americans the sights of the city. There was a hippy from California, a stockbroker from New York and a cowboy from Texas.

 

The first building that Paddy arrived at was relatively small and before he had a chance to talk about its history, he was abruptly interrupted.

 

The Californian Hippy piped up..."Dude why are we stopping at this little building. Haven't you Irish got anything bigger to show us. Back in California we have hundreds of buildings that are 50 times the size of this one"

 

The New York stockbroker responded " Well, in my city we have hundreds of buildings that are 100 times the size of this one"

 

The Texan not to be outdone finished "Hey y'all..everyone knows that everything is bigger in Texas...I'd say we have thousands of buildings all over our state that are at least 150 times the size of this one"

 

Paddy, finally able to speak, said "Welcome to the Lunatic Asylum"
