Paddy is looking very miserable, so one of his friends goes up to him to see what is wrong.

Whats wrong Paddy? asks the friend.

Its a bad day for my family, says Paddy, Ive just heard that my father died this morning.

Naturally the friend is very sympathetic, and tries to console Paddy. Then the phone rings and Paddy goes to answer it. When he comes back he is looking even more upset and the tears are streaming down his cheeks.

Whats wrong now paddy? asks the friend.

This truly is a bad day for my family, he replies, That was my brother on the phone, and HIS father has died too!
