Insisting on making sure to be sure

Back in the 1960s young

novices were told about ‘custody of the eyes’. While the novice master was explaining the value of keeping one's eyes looking down, a novice piped up saying that surely with the arrival of the mini skirt the practice of looking downwards might not be a good idea for men attempting to live celibate lives.

Whatever about ‘custody of the eyes' it’s never a good idea to keep our eyes peering downwards. There’s so much to see, anyway, why did God give us eyes?

And by keeping them open we often see the strangest and funniest of things.

This public house in Tralee was only recently redecorated.

Whatever about a missing fada, it seems the owners made sure to be sure. If they were not sure about how to spell accommodation they went at it with two runs and got it correct on one occasion.

A question of them hedging their bets?
