Mrs. Mcguinty meets Father Paddy, and he says, "Sure, now, didn't I marry ye two about a year ago? And do ye have a wee one yet?"

'No, not yet, " she replies.

Two years later the same thing happens. "No, not yet, Father Paddy, " she answers.

"Well, I'll light a candle for ye while I'm in Rome next month," he says.

Several years later, they meet once again, and Father Paddy asks about children.

"Well, now, don't I have two sets of twins--two boys and two girls--and aren't there six singles making for ten children in all."

"Well, glory to God," says Father Paddy, "and how is your husband?"

"He's gone to Rome to blow our yer candle," she answers.
