   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   Millers paid themselves long ago by taking a percentage of the grain they ground. This was called
   Miller's Toll
   But they had the name of taking more than their "toll."
   A story is told of a miller who accosted a school boy one day on his way from school.
   "You are a long time going to school now John" said the miller "you ought to know everything that is to be known"
   "Well," said John "there are things I know and things I do not know"
   "Tell me some of the things you know" said the miller.
   "Well, one of the things I know" said John, "is, that millers always have very fat pigs."
   "Tell me some of the things you do not know" said the miller.
   One of the things I do not know" said John, "is Where do they get all the meal that fattens them?"
