- A Clever RuseAbout twenty years ago the Policemen used to be watching on the roads for cars without lights, and here is a story about them.One night a man named Jack Hogan was coming home from Nenagh. The Policemen were on the road and the man knew this. He said to himself, "I will take the ass out from under the car and tie him to the back of the car". He then pulled the car himself. When he met the Policemen they asked him where was his light and he said "speak to the driver".
