A Goober gets on a bus and asks the driver how long the trip is between Limerick and Cork.

"About two hours," says the conductor.

"OK," said the man...  "then how long is the trip between Cork and Limerick?"

The irate driver says to the man "It's still about two hours.  Why would you think there'd be a difference?"

"Well," said the man, "It's only a week between Christmas and New Year, but it's a long time between New Year and Christmas!"
