A couple had been married for nearly 40 years when the wife died. She was laid out at home and a wake was held. On the day of the removal, she was placed in the coffin, and the pallbearers proceeded to carry her mortal remains out of the house. As is the way with many old houses, it was a tight squeeze, and they had to carry her out the back door and around the side, where a low wall confronted them as they turned the corner. The man at the end of the coffin accidentally bumped it against the low wall, and as they regrouped to continue the journey, they heard a noise from inside the coffin. They opened the lid, and discovered that she was alive. There was much celebration of this miracle, and they lived happily for another ten years until she died again. She was laid out in the home, and a wake was held. On the day of the removal she was placed in the coffin, and the tricky manoeuvre was commenced again. As they rounded the corner, the old man shouted... "for the love of jaysus lads, WILL YIZ MIND THE FUCKING WALL !!!"  |
