Speaking of walls, I have a joke.

And Englishman, a Scotsman, and a Welshman come across a lantern. The Englishman picks it up and rubs it. Pffft, out comes the genie.

"I shall grant each of you one wish."

The Englishman naturally wants to go first, "Put a wall of 20 feet around all of England to keep the Scots and the Welsh out."

"It is done" says the genie and pfft, a 20-foot wall appears around the entire border of England.

Next, the Scot takes his turn, "Add 30 feet to the top of the wall Genie. We must contain the English!"

Pffft, and 30 feet is added to the wall.

Finally, they all look at the Welshman. He thinks a little and then makes his wish, "Genie, fill the walled area with water."
