| "Well, Mrs. O'Connor, so you want a
divorce?" the solicitor questioned his client.
"Tell me about it.
Do you have a grudge?"
"Oh, no," replied Mrs. O'Connor. "Shure
now, we have a carport."
The solicitor tried again. "Well, does
the man beat you up?"
"No, no," said Mrs. O'Connor, looking
puzzled. "Oi'm always first
out of bed."
Still hopeful, the
solicitor tried once again.
"What I'm trying to find out are
what grounds you have."
"Bless ye, sor. We live in a flat -- not
even a window box, let alone
grounds."
"Mrs. O'Connor,"
the solicitor said in considerable exasperation,
"you need a reason
that the court can consider.
"What is the reason for you seeking
this divorce?"
"Ah, well now," said the lady,
"Shure
it's because the man can't hold an intelligent
conversation." |
