- A Funny Story
There was an old character who lived in Kilkenny by the name of Jim Hudson.
He was very fond of Smithwick's Ale. He had no money one day. His wife sent him down the town for a 1/2 lb steak and gave him sixpence. He spent the sixpence on the Ale.

She called out to him "Jim this is only a stone."(continues on next page)
