  1. There were two Irish men out in England and they were lodging in a house. When they were taking off their clothes they heard a noise. It was a clock that was in the room, they never saw a clock before. The clock was saying tick-tock. The lodgers names were Mick and Pat.
    The two men got the clock and through it out through the window they thought they had the devil killed.
