  1. In the parish of Drumlane
    a Scotchman and an Irishwoman were getting married.
    At the end of the ceremony the groom instead of giving the clergyman a pound or so asked how much would it be?
    The clergyman replied -
    "What ever she is worth "?
    The groom took out out sixpence and gave it to the clergyman whereupon the clergyman put his hand in his pocket and asked him how much change did he want .
