    A journey man shoemaker got a job in Doon, County Limerick, some years ago.

    When the mistress was putting it on the plates it was so thin that it was running off them. When the shoemaker saw this he took off his boots and ran for the door.
    She said to him "Where are you going"? He replied "I am going to Cappamore and please shut the door so that the stirabout will not get up to me".
