The man said to the woman "Good day Ma'am". The woman replied "Fine butter for sale". The man asked her how she was getting on. The woman replied "My butter is the finest in town".

- Once there lived a poor labouring man who was a great wit. One day he was digging his potatoes in his garden confronted by a jolly priest who wanted to hear some of his witty sayings. The priest said to him "Well Jer, how are the potatoes by you?" "Begor father" says Jer the big ones are big and the small ones are small".
