  1. There was a man living north in Allihies some time ago, and he was very witty. This day he went to see his cows and he found one in a hole. He ran calling help and as he was running he ran across the Parish Priest.
    "What's up, Con," says the Priest - Con the Lúb they used call this man.
    "There's nothing up but the horns," says Con - running on calling the neighbours.
    "Fear na bó fé'n a h-earball."
