Yankees, thinking he would have joke
at Pats expense, asked him if he knew
anything about astrology.
''Be jabers, no." said Pat.

if he knew anything about theology.
"Be jabers, no." again answered Pat

part of your life lost" said the second
Yankee.
A few minutes later the boat capsized
and Pat began to swim. The Yankees,
however, could not swim, and both

''No," answered both Yankees.
