A visiting American guy and Murphy go into an Irish pastry shop. The American whisks three cookies into his pocket with lightning speed. The baker doesn’t even notice. The American says to Murphy, “You see how clever we are? You Paddies can never beat that!”
Murphy says to the American, “Watch dis, any Paddy is smarter din you, and I’ll prove it to ya.” He says to the baker, “Gimme a cookie, I’ll show ya a magic trick!”
The baker gives him the cookie, which he promptly eats. Then he says to the baker, “Gimme anudder cookie for me magic trick.”
The baker is getting suspicious, but he gives it to him. He eats this one too.Then he says again, “Gimme one more cookie…” The baker is getting really angry now, but gives him one anyway. He eats this one too. Now the baker is really mad, and he yells, “OK… So now where is your famous magic trick?” Murphy says “Look in the American guy’s pocket!”
