- Here is another story about Owen, but, of course we must remember he wasn't real right in the head, he was a bit astray.
One day he was in Ardee, and he went into a church where Fr. Rogers was saying Mass. He knelt two seats down from the altar. In front of him was an old gentleman who was completely bald. Owen was annoyed at the sight of the old man's bald head. He lost his temper, and he up with his stick and gave the man a blow on the head. "Who could stick it," he said, "why don't you look at Rogers and not be looking at me."
