It Spoiled His Night’s Rest.

An Irishman traveling with a friend stopped over Sunday at a hotel, and during the afternoon the friend prepared to take a nap. “Phat air yez about?” asked Pat. “Oh, I’m just going to snooze awhile. You’d better try it yourself.” “Begorra an’ Oi will not, aytlier.” “Why not? It’s good for you.” “Git out wid yez. Oi’ve tried that same, an’ iverv toime Oi’ve galin to shlape before Oi wint to shlape, Oi niver could go to shlape whin Oi wint to shlape.” —Merchant Traveler.
