- There was a priest one time and he went to dine with Mr Hill. There was whiskey and brandy on the table. Brady was the priest’s name. Mr. Hill invited the priest to drink some brandy. “I don’t deal in any of that” said the priest. Mr. Hill said: “Between Brady and brandy there is only one letter and why doesn’t Brady love brandy the better” “Well Mr. Hill,” said the priest “I didn’t think you invited me here to make poems, but between Hill and hell there is only one letter and when Hill is in hell it will be no better.”
