In the international school of

In the international school of Ireland, there is a very patriotic history
teacher.


One day, the teacher asked his students, "Who is the most important man in
the history of the world?" He then offered 2 shillings to the student who
gets the right answer.


A French student stands up and says, "Napoleon was the most important man
in the history of the world."


The teacher looked at him and said, "Napoleon was a great man, no doubt,
but he wasn't the most important man, or the man I'm looking for. Sorry, no
shilling for ya."


Then, an Italian student stands up and says, "Leonardo da Vinci was the
most important man in the history of the world."


The teacher looked at him and said, "Leonardo da Vinci was a great man
also, no doubt, but he wasn't the most important man, or the man I'm
looking for. Sorry, no shilling for ya either."


Then, a Jewish student stands up, out of no where and says, "To me, the
most important man in the history of the world is St. Patrick."


The teachers eyes became wide with joy and shouted, "YES! This is the man I
was waiting for! St. Patrick is the greatest man in the history of the
world!! Here are ya 2 shillings. Ya earned them!"


After class, the teacher comes up the the happy Jewish student and asks,
"You are Jewish... then how come you said St. Patrick is the most important
man in the history of the world?"


Then the Jewish student replyed, "Well, in my opinion, Moses was the most
important man in the history of the world...but as you know, business is
business."
