The rise of the cost-cutters

Possibly explains the origins of jokes like this:

A Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walk into a pub. They each buy a pint of Guinness beer.

Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage three flies landed in each of their pints, and were stuck in the froth of each glass.

The Englishman pushed his beer away from him in disgust.

The Scotsman fished the offending fly out of his beer and continued drinking it as if nothing had happened.

The Irishman too, picked the fly out of his drink, held it out over the beer and then started yelling, "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YA BASTARD!!"
