  1. Once there was a tradesman who was working for a priest. One hot day the priest in and gave him a drink. While the man was drinking the priest said "Tom, don't you know that every time you take a drink, you are driving a nail in your coffin" "Well now" said the man, looking at the bottle in the priests hand "As you have the hammer in your hand you might as well drive another nail in."
