    A funny story.
    There was a man working with the Protestant lady. Had about 12 o’clock the woman called him in to his dinner. When the man sat in to his dinner she left a big plate and the fish on it and filled it with water. The man drew back his chair from the table and started on tying his boot. The woman saw him and said, “Why are you not eating your dinner? And he replied? “Wait mam, until I take off my shoes and go in after the fish”.
