Paddy the craftsman

Paddy was sitting at the bar in his local pub, nursing a pint of Guinness when the bartender asked "Paddy, what seems to be ailing you this fine day?"

Paddy took a long pull from his glass and pusched it towards the barkeep and says "Fill that back up and I'll be tellin ye my woes."

The barkeep fills the pint with Guinness and slides it back to Paddy.

Paddy takes another long pull and starts his story.

"Ye see that dock over there on the lake do ye? I built that with me very own hands, cut each piece of lumber with a hand saw, nailed them all straight as arrows, never used any plans, just built it right as rain.. Do people call me Paddy the Dock Builder? Aye, no, no they don't.."

He takes another pull off the pint and turns to look out another window and continues his story "Do ye see that stone wall out there in that farmers field?? I dug each stone out of a quarry with pick and shovel, cut each one down with me hammer and chisel, placed them in a perfect line along that farmers field, not one ounce of mortar or cement was used. It's held together in the hardest rains and strongest storms we've ever had in the past 10 years.. Do people call me Paddy the Stone Mason?? Aye, no, no they dinot.."

He takes another long pull off the pint, emptying it's contents and finishes his story "But, ya **** ONE Sheep..."
