  <dc:title>An Irish Leap, or a Pat Reply to a Plain Question</dc:title>
  <dc:description>An Irish sailor crouches on the deck of a ship, rubbing his leg.  He is watched by a captain and two sailors.  The first sailor says: 
"Shiver my top-sails - what down plunges! And yet he don't seem much hurt. " 
The next sailor comments: 
"He must have come direct from the top gallant mast head."  
The captain, leaning towards the Irish sailor, asks: "My good fellow - where the devil did you come from?", to which the Irish sailor replies 
"Please your Honor - I came from the North of Ireland."   </dc:description>
