An Englishman, a German, a Scotsman, and an Irishman were sitting in a pub sipping their pints. Discussion eventually turned to exactly how stupid their respective wives were.
The Englishman said, "I tell you, my wife is so stupid. Last week she went to the grocery and bought $300 worth of fresh meat because it was on sale -- but we don't even have a fridge to keep it in!"
The German said, "That's nothing. My wife just spent $1,000 on ski equipment, and she doesn't even ski!"
The Scotsman agreed that his mates' wives sounded pretty thick, but he declared his wife to be even thicker in the head. "Why, she's so stupid that just last week she went out and spent $17,000 on a new car, and she doesn't even know how to drive!"
The Irishman continued to drink his drink and look thoughtful. At length he nodded sagely in agreement and allowed that all three women "sounded as if they had walked naked through the stupid forest and been hit by every branch." However, the Irishman stubbornly refused to concede that any woman was stupider than his wife. "My wife left to go on a trip to Greece," he explained, "and I watched her packing her bag, and she must have put about 100 condoms in it -- and she doesn't even have a penis!"
