why are the welsh always left out of these jokes? Are they pleased to be excluded or do they feel let down? :-)

Yea, I see what you mean. It's kind of like the (did you hear the one about the priest, rabbi, and the minister) type joke. There's no room for the Muslim cleric. That certainly isn't being very inclusive and just isn't politically correct. In this day and age, everyone should have an equal opportunity when it comes to being the butt of a joke.

Bill Bailey answered this one (or more specifically, an audience member). He asked for "an englishman an irishman and a scotsman go into a pub" jokes where the welshman was. Apparently he was in the pub already.

Where I come from, it's usually an Englishman, an Irishman and an American or an Australian.

Maybe, because Wales is often being heard around the world and it's always being said to be a part of England, I guess.

Where I live the story goes this way, "There was a mainlander, a townie, and a bayman .... " If you use just three, you can never include everyone. And those who are left out probably say "Thank goodness!"

hi jean,
may be irish moonshine is still better than an irish joke to enjoy.

It may be because you don't want to take offense to your british monarch who is the prince of wales.
