Warden: do you have a permit for all these fish?
Man: no sir. These are all my pet fish. Warden: your pet fish? How's that?

We do this every night. Warden: Well that's just a crock of lies!! Man: here I'll show you... (Releases the fish in the lake) Warden: well this I got to see!! 5 minutes later... Warden: well?? Man: what? Warden: the fish!! Where's your pet fish?? Man: what fish?? The Horse Bridge THE HORSE BRIDGE Love is sweet, where the waters meet, Beneath the Horse Bridge, near sweet Athy, Where lovers roam and salmon leap, And the lark sings merrily, in the clear blue sky. I have travelled far, I have travelled wide, And many's the sight I've seen, But home to me is where the waters meet, Beneath the Horse Bridge near sweet Athy. Oh what a pleasure when at your leisure, To stroll slowly down by the Barrow side, Oh what a treat when old friends meet, Beneath the Horse Bridge near sweet Athy. Curse you emigration, you took away my pride, You took away my bride to be and left me here to weep, Where the salmon leap and the waters meet, Beneath the Horse Bridge, near sweet Athy. by Paddy Walsh  Absolutely amazing!
