I was out hunting with my local pack when I overheard a neighbouring farmer say in a loud voice that he hadn’t seen me out today and not to expect me because I was “too lily-livered for the big drains round here” and “Sure you know that lad’s afraid of falling and getting hurt. And sure why wouldn’t he be, a big sack of potatoes in the saddle he is!”

The listeners laughed loudly at these remarks.
