I just told this joke today. My neighbor took me out to lunch at an irish Pub near the small airport here and we were told the dining room wasn't open. She was a bit upset since she had called ahead. We sat next to the pub in a nice small room and had a very nice lunch. Bangers and Mash and Shepherds Pie. With bread pudding later. The wait person was so very nice with us since things hadn't started out well and he told us some jokes and I told him the POT holder one. Luckily he knew what a pot holder was (I think) he, he.
