The annual football game between the University of Michigan and Ohio State University is a huge rivalrey. Probably the oldest in college football history. It started back in the 1920's or 30's. There is always a lot of razzing and jokes etc. about the two teams. Here is one! 3 Michigan football players are in the woods hunting. They become totally lost. One player says " I heard that when you are lost or have an emergency, you should shoot 3 times in the air and someone will come help you." The 3rd guy shoots 3 times and they wait for an hour and no one comes to help them. The 2nd guy says try it again. So he shoots 3 more times in the air. An hour later when no help comes, the first guy says try it again! The third guy says, "It better work this time, this is the last of my arrows!"
That kind of reminds me of some jokes we have here which involve Paddy Englishman, Paddy Irishman and Paddy Scotsman. The great thing about these jokes is that you can rotate the main characters in the joke depending on where you are from. For example: "Paddy Irishman, Paddy Scotsman, Paddy Englishman were caught in Cuba for a serious crime. The sentence was Death by Firing Squad. Paddy Englishman was first up and to distract the firing squad shouted HURRICANE and they all dispersed and Paddy Englishman escaped. Second up was Paddy Scotsman. To distract the Firing Squad he shouted TORNADO. They all dispersed and Paddy Scotsman escaped. Finally the Irishman was next and to distract the firing squad he shouted FIRE!!!"
