An Englishman and an Irishman are being kept in a secure mental hospital, they both have an interview with the psychiatrist with a view to being released,the Englishman is called first and asked what would happen if his left ear was cut-off, the Englishman replies, well I'd be half deaf, he is then asked what he would be if both of his ears were removed, to which he replies totally deaf, the psychiatrists then asks the Englishman to send in the Irishman. The Irishman enters the room and is asked what would happen if his left ear was cut-off, the Irishman replies that he would be half blind, he is then asked what he would be if both ears were removed, the Irishman replies, totally blind. The shrink then asks how come he would be blind when it was his ears that were being removed, the Irishman replied, well, my cap would fall over my eyes.
