An Englishman, an Irishman, a Welshman and a Scot are captured by the Taliban. The Taliban leader says to them, “We’re going to shoot you infidels, but we are fair people and we will give you one last request. He turns to the Welshman: “What is your last request?”
The Welshman replies, “I want to hear a thousand Welshmen singing ‘Land of my Fathers’.”
“Okay, you will have your request.” He turns to the Scotsman. “What about you?”
“I want to hear a thousand Scots pipers piping ‘Scotland the Brave’,” replies the Scot.
“You’ve got it,” says the Taliban leader. He turns to the Irishman. “What is your last request?”
“I want to see a thousand Irishmen doing the Riverdance,” says Paddy.
“It will be yours,” says the Taliban leader.
Finally he turns to the Englishman. “And your last request?”
“Please . . .” replies the Englishman, “. . . shoot me first.”
