I heard a similar joke which purported to explain the difference between
the various races which make up the United Kingdom.

Image that there are 8 men stranded on a desert island: two Irishmen,
two Welshmen, two Scots, and two Englishmen. After one day on the desert
island, the two Irishmen are having an argument, and about to have a fight.
After two weeks on the desert island, the Welshmen have formed a choir, and
are singing. After 4 weeks on the desert island, the Scots have built a
distillery, and are totally drunk. And after 6 months on the desert island,
the two Englishmen are still waiting to be introduced to one another.
