- One night a man went into his next door neighbour pretending he was a Civic Guard. He asked the man did he know had anyone about a gun. The old man started telling about the other man that pretended to be a Civic Guard having one. Then the Guard asked him had he nice apples and the old man said that he would have only for the long tinker of a next door neighbour.
- One night a man was drunk. He asked a little boy to fight with him. So the little boy gave him a trip and knocked him into the ditch on top of his head. He had to pull him out of the ditch before he went home.
