Two Irish brothers Mick and Paddy have made a promise to
their uncle. They had an Uncle Seamus who was a seafaring
gent all his life and before he passed away, he made the
boys promise to bury him at sea.
Of course he did pass away and the "boys" remembered to
keep their promise.
So off they set with Uncle Seamus all stitched up in a
burial bag and loaded onto their rowing boat. After a while
Mick says, "Do yer tink dis is fer enuff out, Paddy?"
Without a word Paddy slips over the side only to be standing
in water up to his knees. "Dis'll never do Mick, let's row
some more".
After a bit more rowing Paddy slips over the side again but
the water is only up to his belly, so on they row.
Again Mick asks Paddy, "Do yer tink dis is fer enuff out
Paddy?" Once again Paddy slips over the side and almost im-
mediately says, "No dis'll neva do". The water was only up
to his chest.
So on they row and row and row when finally Paddy slips over
the side and disappears!
Quite a bit of time goes by and poor Mick is really getting
himself into a state when suddenly Paddy breaks the surface
gasping for breath.
"Well is it deep enuff yet, Paddy?"
"Aye it tis! Can yer hand me da shovel."
