Jigsaw

Paddy gets a phone call from Murphy.

``Paddy,'' says Murphy, '`I've got a problem''

``What's the matter?'' replies Paddy.

``I've bought a jigsaw and it's too hard, none of the pieces fit together and I can't find any edges.''

``What's the picture of?'' asks Paddy

``It's of a big cockerel,'' Murphy replies.

Paddy says, ``Alright, Murphy, I'll come over and have a look.'' He gets to Murphy's house and Murphy opens the door.

``Oh thanks for coming Paddy.'' He leads Paddy into the kitchen and shows him the jigsaw on the kitchen table.

Paddy looks as the jigsaw, then turns to Murphy and says, ``Murphy you idiot, put the Cornflakes back in the packet.''
