- There was a man coming from work one night and he met a swarm of cats on the road. One of them said "Grimes" and another one said "Title him" and another one said "Mr Grimes" "Tell him that Miram is dead" and when the man went home he told his wife that he got an awful fright and she asked him what was it.
He said "I met a swarm of cats on the road and one of them said "Grimes" and another of them said "Title him" and another of them said "Mr Grimes." There was a young cat sitting at the fire and he said "Why didn't you tell me that when you came in now. I'll be late for the funeral."
