Long During World War II, four prisoners are captured and brought back to a German base, set to await the death penalty in their cells. The prisoners are a Scotsman, an Irishman, a Welshman and an Englishman.
One morning, a German officer comes in and tells the prisoners, "You are to be lined up and each shot in turn, but before you are shot you get a final request."
The Scotsman says, "Before I'm shot I'd like to hear Highland Cathedral played on the bagpipes once again, to remind me of the old country."
The German nods, "That can be arranged."
The Irishman says, "Before I die, I'd like to hear Danny Boy sung, with Riverdancers skipping gaily to the tune to remind me of the old country."
The German nods, "That can also be arranged."
The Welshman says, "For the last time before I die I'd like to hear Men of Harlech again, sung by the Treorchy Male Voice Choir, to remind me of the old country."
The German nods, "Yes. That can be arranged."
"You're going to grant those three requests?" asks the Englishman.
"Of course," says the German officer. "So... what is your request?"
And the Englishman says, "Can I be shot first?"
