    One day a travelling manna med Tom Connors went to see Fr. Browne P.P. Doonbeg R.I.P. It was around Christmas and he offered Tom a Glass of Whiskey. While he was drinking it he said to him. Now Tom every glass of that you take is putting a nail in your coffin. "Oh good Lord Father drive another as quick as you can" meaning give me another drop out of the bottle.
