Nice try.
However, it's not the same without a third character (as in: an Irish, an English and a French walked into a bar...).
Here, let me demonstrate (off-topic):
An Indian, a Malay and a Chinese waited outside the prime minister's office.
The prime minister summoned the Indian into his office and asked, "How much will it cost to send you to the moon?".
The Indian replied, "One million dollars because it is a risky job".
Taken aback, the prime minister next consulted with the Malay.
The Malay replied, "Two million dollars because I have two wives to feed should anything happen to me".
Disappointed with the answer, the prime minister called upon his last candidate, the Chinese.
The Chinese curtly replied, "Three million dollars".
Outraged, the prime minister demanded an explanation, to which the Chinese replied,
"You keep one million, I keep one million and we send the Indian to the moon for one million".
If you like this joke, you can thank my dad. Otherwise, sorry, no refund.
