Pat, who had joined the new army, was given his uniform by the quartermaster. Everything fitted all right till he came to put on the trousers, which he said were far too tight.

“I tell you they are too tight,” said Pat. “They are tighter than me skin.”
“Nonsense, Pat; how can they be tighter than your skin?”
“Begorra!” exclaimed Pat. “I can sit down in my skin, but I can’t sit down in the trousers.”
