    Just how is this census conducted? In Canada, they mail out forms to fill. I thought they did it the same way there.

    The Census taker goes to each pub and takes inventory of the Scotch in the morning. He then returns the next day, and counts one person for every 5 ounces of Scotch that was consumed. If there is a game ( as there is in this case), He counts one person for every seven ounces if the favored team wins and one person for every 10 ounces if the favored team looses.

    Far more accurate than counting people in houses, as more often than not there are several who stumbled into the shed, down the wrong road or into the woods trying to get home when the pub closed.

    Don't write things like that at 1 AM when I'm sleep-deprived!

    Wish I could tell you. Sleep and I haven't met for so long, you'd be surprised.

    Maybe they should just go to the game and count Limmerick fans.
