    The Kin said "How many stars in the sky?" Paddy said "fourty four million four thousand four hundred and forty four and if you don't believe me go out and count them" "What weight is the moon?" says the King. Paddy said a pound when full but it is only a quarter now. "How many baskets would hold the material contained in a mountain in view"? says the King. Paddy said "one if it was big enough" What am I thinking of? Paddy said "you think it is the old jew you have but you are out by the side of it"
