    When the Americans were getting ready to send their first men to the moon, an old Irishman was watching them on television in the bar of a hotel. There was an Englishman in the bar, too, and he said to the Irishman, "The Americans are clever, aren't they? They are going to send some men to the moon. It's a long way from our world. ""Oh, that's nothing, "the Irishman answered quickly."The Irish are going to send some men to the sun in a few months' time. That's much farther away than the moon, you know. "The English was very surprised when he heard this."Oh, yes, it is, "he said, "but the sun's too hot for people to go to."
