Dan Sullivan of Dromore was employed by the parish priest of Firies putting gravel in a walk near the church. The Bishop was coming. The priest came and he saw that the path was not level. The priest asked him why he was not levelling it. Dan said " The Bishop has one short leg and that would suit". " That will suit when he will be going in but what will he do coming out". " Ye can back him out" says Dan.
