The Pub, the Pints, and the Flies

An Irishman, Englishman, and Scotsman go into a pub and each order a pint of Guinness.

Just as the bartender hands them over, three flies buzz down and one lands in each of the pints.

The Englishman looks disgusted, pushes his pint away, and demands another pint.

The Scotsman picks out the fly, shrugs, and takes a long swallow.

The Irishman reaches into the glass, pinches the fly between his fingers, and shakes him while yelling, "Spit it out, ya bastard! Spit it out!"

Explanation

Experiment

This is a joke based on national stereotypes. The Englishman is portrayed as fussy and demanding, the Scotsman is seen as frugal and unfazed, while the Irishman is depicted as someone who is very tight with his money and willing to go to any length to get his money's worth. The humor comes from the Irish man’s comical attempt to extract the lost Guinness from the fly.
