Scotsman, Englishman and Irish man...

Scotsman, Englishman and Irish man...

...are sentenced to the gas chamber and they are given one last request.

Scotsman - a crate of whisky
Englishman - all the beautiful women in the world
Irishman - a piano

their requests are given and then their sentence is carried out.

The Guards return to check on their process and find:
Scotsman - dead with a huge smile on his face and the crate is empty
Englishman - dead with a smile on his face

The Irishman is still sitting playing the piano.

The guards ask "how did you survive that?"

the Irishman replied "well, tunes help you breate"
