- A Funny Story.
A boy named Jack was working for a farmer who at one time was a business man in Dublin.Jack had a habit of forgetting where he put things. One day as he was going to the garden for potatoes with his donkey and car he couldn't find the spade so he asked his master if he had seen it anywhere. The master replied.''Well Jack when I was at business in Dublin I didn't have to look for anything, I had my pencil over one ear, my pen over the other and my notebook sticking out of my pocket.''
''Be dad'' says Jack, ''would'nt I look nice with the spade over one ear, the shovel over the other and me ass and car sticking out of me pocket''
