Two Irishmen met in a pub and discussed the illness of a third.

"Poor Micheal Hogan! Faith, I'm afraid he's goin' to die."

"Shure, an' why would he be dyin'?" asked the other.

"Ah, he's gotten so thin. You're thin enough, and I'm thin -- but
by my soul, Micheal Hogan is thinner than both of us put together."
