This is for the old timers who will recognize the artifact found in the punch line.
There was a great radio show with Phil Harris and Alice Faye. Phil had a boozer pal named Remley who always involved Phil into his crack-brained adventures.
One episode was a bout a treasure map Remley found. They go to some out-of-the-way spot in the woods and, per the map, start digging.
Remley: “Clunk!” I hit something.
Phil: Keep digging. It might be the treasure!
Remley: It looks like a silver disk.
Phil: That’s the treasure! We’re RICH!
Remley: There’s some writing on it.
Phil, barely containing himself: What’s it say? What’s it say?
Remley: “Pontiac”
That was good comedy.
So a guy in a bar overhears two women talking, and he says, “I couldn’t help but hear your accents - are you ladies from Ireland?”
One women snarled back, “It’s Wales, you idiot!”
The man replied, “Oh, pardon me - are you two whales from Ireland?”
