- About four years ago there lived a certain priest in this parish, and he got in false teeth. Before he got them in he used to give very short sermons and after that he used to give very long ones.
On a certain Sunday there was a man from this village sitting beside a dentist at Mass in Crossmolina. He said to him that that priest used to give short sermons once and now they are much longer. The dentist said "That's my fault. When I was putting in his teeth, I put in a woman's set instead of a man's."
