A Fine Bird

An Irishman who wasn’t much of a hunter went out to hunt one day and the first thing be saw to shoot at was a bird sitting saucily on the top of a fence. He biased away and then walked over to pick up the victim. What he happened to find there was a dead frog, which he raised at arm's length, looking at it with a puzzled air. Finally he remarked: “Well, but ye was a deuce of a foine looking burd be fur Oi blew the Others off o’ ye!”
