  2. The Care of the Feet

    Share Share Post
    About thirty years ago two men were card playing in a house. They won a good deal of money and they proposed to go to Tobbercurry and buy clogs. When they had finished playing that night they went. They reached Tobbercurry in the morning and they went in to a public house and drank the price of the clogs. They came home drunk that day without the clogs.
