    Once upon a time there were two men named Quinn and Byrne. The man named Quinn knocked down Byrne's fences. On the following Sunday the two men went to mass and in the middle of mass Byrne took a penknife from his pocket and cut the other man's throat. Then the priest could not finish the mass and the chapel had to be consecrated over again by the bishop.
