    Lord Barrymore said to an Englishman that he would get a man that would eat eight ducks at one meal. After a few days Lord Barrymore got the man, and roasted eight ducks for him. The workman ate four ducks and he said he could not eat anymore. He said those words in Irish. The Englishman asked Lord Barrymore what did the man say, and Lord Barrymore said that he said that he had not half enough. Then the Englishman snapped the plate from the man and said he would not get anymore.
