Paddy and Paddy, two Irishmen, went out one day and each bought a pig. When they got home, Paddy turned to Paddy and said, "Paddy, me ol'mate, how are we going to tell who owns which Pig?"
Paddy says, "Well Paddy, I'll cut one of te ears off my Pig, and ten we can tell them apart."
"Ah, dat id be grand," says Paddy.
This worked fine until a couple of weeks later, when Paddy stormed into the house. "Paddy" he said, "Your Pig has chewed the ear off my Pig. Now we got two pigs with one ear each. How are we going to tell who owns which dang pig.?"
"Well Paddy," says Paddy,"I'll cut ta other ear off my pig. Ten we'll ave two pigs and only one of them will avan ear".
"Ah tat'd be grand" says Paddy.
Again, this worked fine until a couple of weeks later, when Paddy again stormed into the house. "Paddy", he said, "Your dang pig has chewed the other ear offa my dang pig!!!." "Now, we got two pigs with no ears!!!. How we gonna tell who owns which pig?"
"Ah, dis is serious, Paddy" said Paddy. " I'll tell ya what I'll do. I'll cut de tail offa my pig. Den we'll av two pigs with no ears and only one tail."
"Ah tat'd be grand" says Paddy.
Another couple of weeks went by and..........you guessed it, Paddy stormed into the house once more. "PADDY," shouted Paddy, "YOUR PIG HAS CHEWED THE TAIL OFFA MY PIG, AND NOW WE GOT TWO PIGS WITH NO DANG EARS AND NO DANG TAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. HOW DE HECK ARE WE GONNA TELL 'EM APART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Ah, dang it" says Paddy, "how's about you have the black one, and I'll have the white one"
