    Pat was making a hay rick one sunny day in July. That same day it happened there were two gentlemen visitors passing into the house. One was a doctor and the other a Priest. Sometime after the "Boss" came out to see how Pat was progressing with the rick. "Oh Pat" he said. "I am afraid that rick is crooked there is something wrong anyhow." Pat stood and looked at him in silence, then he spoke and said "How could it go wrong after passing priest and doctor."
