- One day two men were drinking in a public house in Kiltyclogher. There was a large mirror on one side of the bar. One of the men happened to look into the mirror and saw his own reflection. He said "Who is he, that man that's looking earnestly at me. I should know him" and then "Ah! why would I not know himm. Is he not a cousin of my own, one of the Slevins from Cavanderry."
- There was a man one time who went into a shop to purchase a hat. The shop boy took down all the hats in the shop but they were all too big for his customer. "Give me the smallest hat in the shop" said the man. He got it but even it was too big. "I have a very small head" said the man. "Ah!" said the shop boy "you have no head at all. It is only a pimple yet. But I will tell you what to do. Go home and put a poultice to it and it might come to a head."
