- A Funny StoryWritten by; James Martin Gortloney
7-6-'38My father told me a very funny story about a man names Tom Connell who was going a ceilide one night. He was in the habit of crossing a field in which he knew there was a wicked ram. There was another man named Pat Boyle who knew that Connell was afraid of the ram. One night Boyle went into the field, and a sheet around him. When Boyle saw Connell coming he crept up to him ad Connell drew at Boyle with a stick and he tumbled Boyle through the field. This is a true story. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
