A certain priest forbade his people to drink potheen. One day as he was taking a walk he met a man who was carrying a can of potheen. "I thought I told you not to drink potheen" said the priest. "But this is not for me replied the man, "it is for two men who are building a house". "Is there any potheen atall for you?" inquired the priest. "There's one cupfull for me", said the man. The priest then told him to throw out his share of potheen on the road, but the man said "I can't do that father, because its at the bottom of the can".Collected by
