    A Funny Story
    There was once a great Irish poet who was brushing outside his door. At the time a Scotch poet came the way and said "You Irish clown, the broom lay down and let a man pass by." The Irishman said "You Scottish ass, you have room to pass between the broom and I."
    Thomas Hogan.
