  1. There was once a man from beside Galway who was very forgetful. He and his wife went to Galway. When he was coming home in the evening he was thinking that he had made some mistake. He looked at his note book and every thing was alright but he was not satisfied with that he knew he had some mistake made but he could not think of it. When he came to the house his daughter came out and said "O Dadie why didn't mama come home".
