  1. Another Tale About Bill Linane

    Share Share Post
    12.7.38
    He was once working with a farmer near Charleville.
    The woman of the house was very miserly, and "Bill" was not often satisfied with the dinner he got.
    One day when he came into his dinner, she gave him a mug of goose soup.
    The soup was light and watery, and Bill said "What kind of soup is that Mam?" and the woman answered, "Why that is fine goose soup".
    "Well, if it is, the goose must have flown over it, Mam."
