- -----------------
A man called Finnegan and another called Hughes were going from Tyholland to Keady to sell cattle. (Keady is about 8 miles away).
All the way to the fair Finnegan kept telling the other man about a great sow he had. Hughes probably missed the sale of his cattle owing to being bored by the conversation. They parted when they reached Keady and Hughes didn't sell. When he was leaving Keady for home he fell in with Finnegan again and Finnegan says "Well I was telling you about the sow" Hughes who was in a rage says "Would you go to H___ you and your sow"
