   The Irish man then said that he was mistake(n) for God, that a woman ran across the street to him and said "O good God is that you?'

   Once an Irish man was out in Africa, and he was looking for digs. But he wished to stop with white people. He came to this lodgeing house and it was ruled by a white woman. He got lodgeing from her, and he told her to call him early next morning for work. It was all black men that were stopping in that house so when the woman got the Irish man asleep she painted him black. Next morning he was called early and when he was going to his work he was passing by a mirror and he saw himself all black. He went back to the woman and he said to her "You called the wrong man.
