This is the sort of thing that comes from Wales. (n.b.: not a sheep.)

The Principality of Wales[1] forms part of the United Kingdom. It is populated by sheep, sheepfarmers, sheepshaggers and growers of daffodils and leaks. It is wet. Despite the permanent waterlogged state, Welsh persons are almost exclusively non-swimmers (the descendants of the ones who could swim are now known as Irish and live in Ireland where they went in prehistoric times to escape the stigma of being Welsh). There were at one time lots of mines which produced Queen Victoria's favourite coal. There are now Eistedfods (spelling? who cares?), rugby and male voice choirs. To keep warm the native Welsh people were accustomed to burning cottages, but this practice has ceased owing to the increasing shortage of raw material.

The Welsh language uses y and w to represent vowels. This is supposedly somehow funny.
