  1. Pat was an Irishman and he went across to England seeking work. This he found after a few days in the coal-pits. One evening as he was returning home from work making a great noise with a pair of clogs. As he was passing a corner he espied a n--ger on the opposite side of the street. The n--ger knowing Pat to be an Irishman and thinking he was a green-horn said "Hallo Pat." Pat stood and looked at him. The n--ger said "Do you not know me." Pat looked at him for fully one minute, he then said Begorra I dont know you except you are the black foal our ass had last year.
