    Lord Walter was going along the bog road, when he came upon an old man whose ass's car was overturned.

    Lord Walter was going along the bog road, when he came upon an old man whose ass's car was overturned. The old man asked for a hand to pull out the donkey, which he did.
    After a great deal of labour they succeeded in getting the ass and car out. When both were safely on the road, the old man looked up at Lord Walter exclaiming "You're the bloody finest man I ever saw, but curse a hell as bad a man to pull an ass out a ditch I ever met".
