Profit In Truth.

When illicit distilling was common in Ireland there was an qld man who went about repairing whisky pots. The gauger met him one day and asked him what he would take to inform him (the gauger) where he had repaired the last whisky pot “Och,” said the old man; “HI- just take half a crown.” “Done!” retorted the ganger. "Here is your money, but be careful to tell me the truth.” “Och, I’ll tell you no lie, sir. I just mended the last whisky pot where the hole was.” .
