Used to It

It was in the country village, and Pat Casey was making preparations for a “flitting”—the fourth removal in about twelve months. The parish priest happened to be passing, and remarked: “What! Moving again, Pat?” “Yes, your reverence,” replied Pat. “You are taking your poultry, too, I see. I think they will be getting tired of being moved about.” “Gettin* tired?” said Pat. “Why, sir, they’re that used to it that everytime they see a furniture van they run into the yard and lie on their backs with their legs in the air waitin’ to be tied.”
