Noel Johnson Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Three builders, one Scotsman, one Englishman and a Frenchman are walking along a beach when the Scotsman sees an old bottle with what sounds like a cry for help coming from it. He picks it up, opens it and out pops a Genie who starts thanking the three men for releasing him and grants each a wish. The Scotsman thinks deeply for a while and says that Scotland is such a beautiful country and jokingly states "I would like to see Hadrians wall rebuilt to keep the English oot!" The Genie immediately waves his hand in the air and low and behold Hadrian's wall is rebuilt in all its glory from the Solway Firth to the Tyne. The Scotsman is happy with the result and hands the bottle to the Frenchman. The Frenchman thinks for a while and states that France is such a beautiful country too, but throughout its history has always been invaded by its neighbours. Picking up from the Scotsman's wish he states "I would like to have a wall built all around France that would keep all foreigners out of his land, and keep it French forever". The Genie waves his hand and low and behold a wall is erected all around France. The Englishman is the last to take the bottle, and the Genie asks him for his wish. "Before I ask for my wish I must know some information. Firstly, how high is the wall around France?" "1000 feet" replies the Genie "Secondly, how thick is the wall around France?" "100 feet" "Are you sure no one can get in or get out because of this wall?" "Absolutely sure!" replies the Genie "In that case fill it with water!"
