- One day in Rathdowney there were three men discussing which of them would have the best patent of a curse and to which ever of them would have the curse the leader was to stand a drink. The leader started with his own patent of a curse. That the devil may come dancing on your upper lip and barking down on your soul. The second man began his own patent, That the devil may make a German flute out of your back-bone and play the rakes of Mallow before your soul to hell.
The third man with his final and best patent. "That the devil may make a tutumtotum of your heart and turn up A for all".The third man won the free drink.- Informant
