—o— An Irish patron enters a lawyer’s office : “ Is this the place, sur, where people get divorces ?"
“ Yes, wo occasionally do that kind of business, what can wo do foryou, madam?” . “ Faith, snr, I’d loik to got «a divorce from me husband Pathricki”
“V\ iiat is the matter with Patrick madam ?”
“ Shure and Pathrick gits drunk sur.” “ But I hardly think that alone will be sufficient cause. Have you no other complaint ?” “ Indade I have sur ; Pathrick bates me.”
“Yes, yes, I sec ; that adds cruelty to drunkenness. But, madam, you do not seem to suffer much in your appearance from Patrick’s cruelty. I think you will have to find a stronger reason before the Court will grant you a divorce.” “ Well, sur besides all that, I fear, sur, that Pathrick isn’t true to me.”
“ Ah, now madame, you begin to talk business : What reason have you for thinking Patrick is unfaithful to you ?” “ Well, sur, 1 may say that its myself that has a strong suspicion that Pathrick is not the father of my last choild.”
