An Irishman sees a headline in the newspaper: "Three Hundred Jobs In Jeopardy". So he runs to the train station, goes to the ticket office, and says "Give me a first class ticket to Jeopardy!"
No joy, obviously. He keeps scanning the paper and a week later he's leafing through the job section (he's getting the hang of it now) and sees "Tree Fellers Wanted". The next day he turns up with two of his mates and asks what the job is.
So he's hired, and the foreman says "We need you to cut down a hundred trees a day" and hands our man a chainsaw. He goes off, and at the end of the day he's cut down 97 trees. The foreman says it's OK, our man just needs some practice.
The next day he cuts down 98 trees. The foreman is a little bit exasperated, looks at our man a bit funny, but let's him carry on.
The day after he cuts down 99 trees. The foreman starts shouting. "Look! it's bloody easy! Everyone else is managing 120 trees a day! I'll show you." He wanders over to the trees and starts up the chainsaw.
Brrrreeeermmmmm!
The Irishman jumps back and says:
"What the hell's that noise!"
