- (continued from previous page)saw the Irishman had nothing to say so he said "Ah! thats nothing there the other day a man's side was cut off with a car so the doctors cut one hind leg off a cow and stuck it to him. This day the man is walking around and whats more he gives two gallons of milk every day."
