It was a record breaking hot sunny day in Ireland and Murphy decided to go sunbathing naked at the beach in Galway.
For the sake of civility and to keep his private parts from getting sunburned, he placed his hat over them while he lay on his back, soaking up the suns rays on this unusually warm day for Ireland, a country known more for it’s wet and rainy days than for it’s sunshine.
Old Mrs O’Sullivan was taking a stroll along the beach, and as she walked past Murphy she said with a laugh, “Murphy, if you were a gentleman you’d lift your hat when a woman walked past”.
Murphy raised an eyebrow and replied, “If you were better looking Mrs O’Sullivan, it would lift itself!”
