Irish oysters

[icebob]

Paddy was a youthful and hard working Irishman at a coastal village in Ireland .

 

Daily, he would pole a heavy old punt out to sea, then work a heavy iron grapple to bring up the sand oysters, which he sold to the local ice works.

 

He was a man of regular habits.... he always arrived home each day at a certain time.

 

Sadly, Paddy did not realise the heavy grappling was taking a toll on a faulty heart.

 

One day, he failed to come home, so his wife contacted the Police to investigate him being missing.

 

They rowed out and found Paddy dead in the punt; beside him, a huge grapple full of oysters that he'd tried to hoist aboard.

 

Headlines the next day in the 'Irish Times Newspaper' read:

 

Wait for it!

 

Wait for it!

 

Wait for it!

 

OYSTERS KILPATRICK !!!!
