    A Funny Story
    goose rolled down the chimney covered with soot and she flew in great haste to a neighbours house and, told them that the devil had come down the chimney. The neighbour armed with a stout stick came back with her to find poor Pat moaning and groaning on the kitchen floor attended by Mick leasey and the goose lying beside him.
    "Well, said Mrs Murphy if you hadn't to take so much drink you would have come through the door and not down the chimney.
