    lad who shot his aunt and the lad said I shot her because I never saw a cuckoo before and I liked to see one and when I let go the shot it was your aunt that fell down dead. "Are you vexed". "Why wouldn't I be vexed and my aunt shot" said the man. Alright come on until I cut off your ear this time. Don't cut it off and I will give you £26 more so he got the £26 and went home with his big lump of money.
