  2. Daniel went for a priest once to annoint Mick. He met Father John James, and told him to come up. Father John James told him that it was not his week but that the other priest would annoint him. "You are the man I prefer," said Daniel. When the priest had gone, Daniel told Mick that he would give him a dose of cascarra.
