At Night

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 very clever, aren't they? They are going to send some men to the moon. It is 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 from the moon, you know.”
“Oh, yes, it is,” he said, “but the sun is too hot for the people to go to.”
The Irishman laughed and said, “Well, the Irish aren't stupid, you know. We won't go to the sun during the day, of course. We will go there during the night.”
