A drunk got on a train in Ireland and asked the conductor how long the trip was from Limerick to Cork. "It's about two hours of travel," the conductor explained.

The drunk eyed him sourly. "Well it's only a week between Christmas and New Year's, but it's a great long time between New Year's and Christmas, now isn't it?"
