[null and void]

Why is there a potato shortage.

Blame the Irish.

I remember a joke I heard in a John Cleese Sherlock Holmes spoof.

Why do the Irish have all the potatoes and the Arabs all the oil?

Because the Irish got to choose first.

(To which dimwitted Watson asked, “don’t the Arabs like potatoes?).

Wait...I thought the Irish chose the Whiskey first.
