NOT A SHINING EXAMPLE -

There is a tale about a dairy farmer named Jack Shine who used to supply milk to Browne's Dairy and how one day he arrived at the delivery area with a very battered 12 gallon milk churn. When asked about the condition of the churn Jack said it had fallen off his wagon. Later in the pub he was heard to remark that the dents had actually come from the blunt end of an axe and he was now delivering 11 gallons and being paid for 12.

The very same farmer is also credited with selling an old horse to a priest with the words 'he doesn't look so good but he's all right.' When the priest returned a couple of days later complaining that the horse was blind, Jack simply said, 'I told you he didn't look so good.'
