The new boss was about to chair his first meeting of the board. The faces around the table were deadly serious. He thought a good old-fashioned 'Paddy' joke might help break the ice.

"Oh b**ger," thought the boss.
He said to the man "Are you Irish, by any chance?"
"Yes."
"I'm so sorry," said the boss. "I'll tell it again - slowly."
