A hungry young labourer walked into a seedy caf? in Dublin one lunchtime and sat down at the counter. He noticed ol' Paddy sitting with his arms folded staring blankly at a bowl of chilli.
After a few minutes of just sitting there staring at it, the young bloke bravely asked, "If you aren't going to eat that, do ye mind if I do?"
Paddy slowly turned his head toward the young bloke and said, "Nah, help yerself".
The young bloke eagerly reached over and slid the bowl in front of him and started spooning it in with delight.
He got close to the bottom, loving every mouthful, and then noticed a dead mouse in the bottom of the bowl.
The repulsive sight shocked him and he immediately puked all the chilli back up into the bowl.
Paddy looked at the young bloke and said, "That's as far as I got too".
