    There is another story about a man named Mick McGowan who went out to cut down hay to feed his cattle. A man was lying in the hay and he cut off his head with the hay knife. Then he brought the man into the house and got sealing way and started to seal the man's head to his body; but when he had finished it was on back to front so he took it off and put it on right again, but when the man began to sneeze his head flew out the door.
