The pat answer which has been de-
fined as IAN Irish come-back" is more
typical Of Irish wit than the bull. Bulls
which are common to the humor Of
all lands usually Indicate slow com
prehension or lax thinking. But the
Irish bull is often an instance Of
thought overlapping itself--a fash of
perspleaclty. When a shrewd doctor
says that "warm stockings are the
best chest protectors" we recognize a
forcible and picturesque statement;
when Napoleon declared that most
people dig their graves with their
teeth" we see pointed truth. But
when a Kerry doctor remarks dryly
that people are dying this winter that
never died before we see a merry
Irish ''bull Catholic Citizen.
