One way to let a publican know his premises is cold

Micheál was in a pub in West Kerry one cold December night. It was cold and draughty in the licensed premises.

He asked the pub owner if would be kind enough to open the door. The owner and others in the pub were surprised that Micheál would want the door open when it was so cold in the pub and also outside.

The owner picked up courage and asked him why he was making such a request.

Micheál replied: “To let the cold out."

Ì am told that my paternal grandfather used to wear an overcoat during "summer" in Ireland. His logic was that if it kept the cold out it would keep the heat out too.

Seems Tipperary people are as wise as those in Kerry.
