  1. A True Story

    Share Share Post
    One day Paddy Cassidy was standing on the Diamond when a farmer went up to him and asked him to help him to dig potatoes.
    After some time talking, Paddy asked him who set the potatoes. The farmer told him the name of the man who set them and Paddy replied. "He knows where he put them; get him to dig them."
