“There was a young man livin around here wan time. He didn't mind grabbin' a few things when he'd be hungry an odd time.”
There was a young man livin around here wan time. He didn't mind grabbin' a few things when he'd be hungry an odd time. Wan day he stole some heads o' cabbage on the priest.
After some time he went to Confession begor. He went into the Confession box an' he said to the priest "Begor Father I stole a few heads."
"What kind o' heads" said the priest. "Is it a pig's head or a cow's head or what is it my boy."
The boy was mad because he was asked this question an' says he
"You're damn inquisivite Father."
