Title	An Irish Leap, or a Pat Reply to a Plain Question
Date	Jun 1807
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."
