- There was a man who never went to mass on Sunday. He used to go hunting. This Sunday a priest was going out to Knockananna to say mass, he overtook the lad going hunting and asked him up in the car. The lad got up. The priest knew about his not going to mass. He asked him was he at mass - knowing he was not. The lad told him he was. He asked him who said it. He said the parish priest. It happened that it was the parish priest who said the mass. He asked him what sermon he preached. He said "Begor your reverence hell is a hot place for those who have to go there". His two dogs were killed by a strange hare and himself never had a bit of luck afterwards.
