Ard Na gCeapaire FISH & CHIPS CHICKEN & CHIPS CURRIES BUNBURGERS ET TAKEAWAY 10·30 am to 12·00pm ~ 0 Ill Fresh Fish available 8 I had 18 bottles of whiskey in ~ cellar, but ~ wife found them, and told me to empty each and every one down the sink, or else ••• I said I would and proceeded '.rith the unpleasant task. I withdrew the' cork from the FIRdT bottle, and poured the contents down the sink, with the e xception of one glass, which I drank. I took the cork from the SECON~ bottle, and did likewise · with it, with the exception of one glass, which I drank. I removed the cork from the THI1D bottle, poured the whiskey down the sink, which I drank. I pulled the cork from the FOURTH bottle down the sink, and poured the bottle down the glass, which I drank. I pulled the bottle from the FIFTH cork, drank one sink of it, and threw the rest down the glass. I pulled the sink out of the next glass, and poured the cork down the bottle. Then I corked the sink with the glass, bottled the drink, and drank the pour. 'llhen I had everything emptied, I steadied the house with one hand, and counted the glasses, corks, bottles, and sinks, with the other hand. There were shixty-shix of them. ~hen the house came round again, I counted them once more just to make shure. Shum were mishing, but I mana~ed to put them all in one glass, which I drank. In case you drunk I'm think, I sish to wate that I am not under the afluence of incahol, as some good thinkle peep I am. I am not half as thunk as you might drink. I ~dmit I fool so feelish, I don't know who is me, and the drunker I stand here the longer I get. My wife .is mishing. I sink I must have bottled her in the cellar~ ANON,
