Murphy had died and his coffin was
taken back to his house for the wake
by his family.

When they arrived it was realised
that there was no table to put the
coffin on.

"I know", says Pat, "Put a chair
underneath it".

"Be better off wit' two, one at each
end" Says Mick.

"Might not be strong enough" says Dermot,
"Put one in middle as well, that should do
it".

"Well all der chairs are in use so nip next
door to the pub and borrow some", says Pat.

Mick goes into the pub' and says "Can I have
three chairs for Murphy?"

"Hip hip hooray........................."
