Did they enjoy Christmas—
We’ll say they did!

Pat and Mike Stuff
An Irishman, who was very drunk, was riding on the back platform of an old-fashioned trolley car, and with every pitch and swerve he would sway and nearly fall off. The conductor’s warning to be seated inside were waived aside with “I’m all right.”
Soon the car swung around a curve where the bank was steep and rocky. The Irishman swayed and pitched head-long down the bank, being badly bruised and knocked unconscious. While being carried back up the bank he regained consciousness and asked: “Was anyone hurt in the wreck?”
“There wasn’t any wreck,” replied the conductor. “Begorra!” exclaimed the Irishman: “If I had known that I wouldn’t have jumped.”
