ONE OF THE CLAN
A countryman visiting Dublin for the first time took a seat in a tram. Being next to a pompous-looking swell, he commenced conversation in a rather free-and-easy style. At length 'the mighty one said : ‘ My good man, reserve your conversation for one of your own equals. I’d have you know I’m a K.C.’ At this the countryman stood up with out-stretched hands, exclaiming, ‘Shake hand, namesake; I’m a Casey myself.’
