    One time Colley was working for a farmer in the town. He was drawing manure from the yard to a field. To make sure that Colley would put up a big load each time the farmer would say to Colley, "You can put another forkful here".
    Colley got angry and says he, "Did you ever play draughts". "Yes", said the farmer, "Well", said Colley, "If you do not move quickly you lose a man".
