  1. A Protestan Minister was preaching one day in the Protestant Church in Bruree. A local man happened just to be above in the castle and heard the Minister opening his sermon like this: "I hear a voice from Heaven" and the man answered back and said "You're a liar I am fifty feet higher than you and I hear nothing".
