Your turn

There's a guy from Ireland and a guy from England driving through Europe, In separate cars and going in opposite directions. In the middle of the night with no other cars on the road they hit each other head on and both cars go flying off in different directions. The Irish fella manages to climb out of his car and survey the damage. He looks at his twisted car and says, "Jasus, I am really lucky to be alive."

Likewise, the Englishman scrambles out of his car and looks at the wreckage. He too says to himself, "I can't believe I survived this wreck." The Englishman walks over to the Irishman and says, "Hey man, I think this is a sign from God that we should put away our petty differences and live as friends instead of such rivals." The Irishman thinks for a moment and says, "You know, you're absolutely right. We should be friends. Now I'm gonna see what else survived the wreck."

So the Irishman pops open his trunk and find a full-unopened bottle of Paddy Powers Irish Whiskey. He says to the English bloke, "I think this is another sign from God that we toast to our new found understanding and friendship."

The Englishman says, "You're damn right|" and he grabs the bottle and starts sucking down the Irish Whiskey. After putting away nearly half the bottle, the Englishman hands it back to the Irish fella and says, "Your turn." The Irish fella twists the cap back on the bottle and says, "Nahh, I think I'll wait for the cops to show up."
