   A Funny Story.
   I heard this funny story about a woman who lives in Pottlebawn. She never goes outside the door and she is dressed in mans clothes. She never goes to Mass. She lives in a little house along the roadside. She gets someone to cook for her that would be going by the house. She is always singing or talking to herself. Nobody likes to go into her house. Her bed is made out of straw.
