- Once a country woman from the Barryroe district went up to Cork. It was her visit to a city, and she had never seen the electric light. In the evening as she was passing a large shop she saw the fine light & she looked at it for a time, then she went in and said, "What is that fine light you have, Sir?" "That is caused by electric currents ma'am," said the shopkeeper. Then she said "weigh me a pound of them and if they won't do for lighting they will come in handy for a 'puddin' or something."

“A certain woman near Dunmanway was churning one morning and although there was little cream in the churn, it showed no signs of "breaking".”
