    Long ago a priest asked a little boy who was in school - "Where is our Lord"
    The boy answered "He is in all places."
    Then the priest asked "Is He in your pocket. But the boy replied "If he is he has my biscuits eaten."

    Long ago a fairy cow used to come from the Blackwater to the Lee for a drink. Everyone who met her would milk her. Her milk would fill the biggest bucket in Ireland. One day a woman brought a bottomless bucket and milked the cow into it but after that the fairy cow never stopped to be milked.
