And older man was sidled up to the bar nursing a draft when
another
man sits down beside him an orders a pint for himself. The
first
one turns to the other and said:
"Excuse me for asking, but did I detect a touch of the old sod
in
you voice?"
"Aye. That ye did."
"And what part of Ireland would you hail from. I ask because
I'm
Irish meself"
"Ye don't say! I'm over from the Southeast, County Waterford
it
was, and Dungarvan was me home."
"No! I don't believe it! My own self, I come from
Dungarvan.
Barkeep! Lets have a round for meself and me new Irish friend
here!
And what part of Dungarvan?"
"Hillbury street"
"No! I was BORN on Hillbury street."
A few more rounds and both are really in their cups.
"Tell me, now. Tell me. And..., and what was your
mother's name?"
This brought tears to his eyes. "Oh, my Sainted mother, dead
these
many years now. Her name, it was Mary."
Now the other begins to cry. "My mother too was named
Mary."
Just then the phone rings and the barkeep answers:
"O'Hallihan's
bar. <pause> Oh, you know, same old, same old.
Business is pretty
good, but the wife's mad at me again. Seems I don't pay
enough
attention to her.
And, oh yeah, the Murphy twins are sloshed again."
