- Once upon a time when the fairies lived in Ireland they were very good. One night as a hunchback was passing by the rath he heard the fairies singing their Irish songs. The fairies loved the Irish song De Luain, De Mairt. But the hunchback put the third day to the week. The fairies loved the third day so they brought him in and took the hump off his back.

- What goes up a hill and down a hill and in always stading still?
A road
As I went out in my grandfathers gap I met my uncle David. I broke his neck and spilt his blood and left his body easy?
A bottle of stout.
