My late uncles often regaled me with the following example of the kind brush off..
Two bachelor brothers made good money during the second world war ,when imported coal was at a premium ,by saving and selling turf ,of which they had a limitless supply due to their incessant toil.
They accumulated good money,which they used to buy and upgrade their cattle.
One summer's morning they were spotted herding a dozen good bullocks towards Navan ,where an open air Fair for cattle was held those times.Curious as to how they got on the neighbour waited for their return.
As dusk approached he spotted the two boys walking home sans cattle.They must have fallen out as Larry was walking about fifty paces ahead of Paul.
"How did ye get on "the neighbour asked Larry."I don't know and its no good asking Paul because he doesn't know either"said Larry.Boom boom.
