 The Jew struggled and asked what was the matter. "You're dead and Pm going to throw you overheard" replied the Irishman. ''I ain't dead" insisted the Jew. "Ye're a liar; ye know we're dead" retorted the Irish man, and chucked him into the water.
 Next morning the captain sought out the Irishman and, in a rage ue- mand: "Why didn't you throw that dead Jew overboard?" "I did" said the Irishman. "You didn't" said the captain.
