There was a man one time in America. He heard that the people in Ireland lived to be very old, he thought he would come over to see them.
When he came he intended to go through all Ireland to see the oldest. The first he met was an old man crying he asked him what he was crying about he said his father struck him.
He asked what age was he, he said he was seventy. He asked what did his father strike him for he said that he was firing stones at his Grandfather, The Yankee told the driver to turn that they were far enough.- Collector
