  1. Once upon a time a clergy man was visiting an old woman. She was taking tea by the fire side and she said "I am glad to see you for I am just taking my tea and I will give you a wee drop too." She poured out the tea in the same cup without washing it, so the clergy did not like to take it but he turned it round and took the cup in his left hand. When he was nearly finished the old woman said "I see you are left-handed like myself."
