Gunther

[Seafood]

First world war, two trenches 200 metres apart, one occupied by Germans the other by an Irish regiment, theres a stalemate , nobody has shot anybody for a whole week, on both sides they are getting very bored.
Mick says to Paddy...I've an idea, what's the most common name in Germany ?
Paddy says...Gunther, I'd say it's Gunther.
Mick says.... Right, here's what we'll do, you get your rifle ready and I'll shout across no mans land GUNTHER, ARE YE THERE ? and when one of them sticks he's head up you shoot him, right ?
Paddy says...Great idea let's try it.
So Paddy gets ready and Mick shouts across to the German trenches HEY , GUNTHER ARE YOU THERE ?
Up pops a Germans head and BANG, Paddy shoots him.
The two of them can't believe it worked, so Paddy says.... Try it again Mick.
Mick shouts out...GUNTHER, HEY, GUNTHER.
Again a German head pops up and again, BANG, Paddy shoots him.
They can't believe their luck, and seven more times they do it and each time a head pops up and Paddy shoots him.
The Germans are getting a bit sick of this so Fritz says to he's buddy Hermann....Vot is de most common name in Ireland ?
Hermann says...I believe it is Paddy, yes it is definately Paddy, of this I am sure.
Fritz says...We vill play them at their own game, you get ready to shoot and I vill call out ze name Paddy.
So Hermann gets ready and Fritz shouts across no mans land PADDY, I VANT A VORD VIT YOU PLEASE.
No answer comes back, no head pops up, so he tries again PADDY, CAN YOU HEAR ME, ARE YOU THERE ?
Still no answer, so he shouts across again PADDY ARE YOU THERE? PADDY PADDY
Voice answers back...IS THAT YOU GUNTHER ?
