  1. The Dispute

    Share Share Post
    Two men from Woodford shared an ass and car between them. One man owned the ass and the other the car. They went to a fair in Limerick a distance of forty-five miles with their ass and car.
    On their way home at Bradford Hill thirty five miles from home, they disputed about staying on the car going up the hill.
    The owner of the ass took it from the car and rode him home. The owner of the car had to pull home the car after himself and got shortly home after the man that rode the ass.
