- Once there was an old man called Pat Mc Gowan who was very fond of a drop. He was working with Parish Priest and after a hard day's work the Priest gave him a glass of whiskey.
"Remember" said the Priest, "that every glass of whiskey that you take is putting a nail in your coffin."
"Well" said Pat, "when you have the hammer in your hand, Father, put another in it."
