Regurgitating an old joke

Flint

Two Irish Cobs met at the local watering hole one evening. They got to discussing the week’s events and Rosco asked Flint about an old horse, who had fallen ill. 

“Ah sure,” says Flint, “The veterinarian came out this week and said we had to put him down.” 

“That’s a shame,” said Rosco, “and did he shoot him straight away?” 

"Well,” says Flint, “First he said we should dig a great big hole for the Ol' horse. It was then he got out the gun.”

“And did he shoot him in the hole?” asked Rosco.

“No, no – he shot him in the head,” said Flint.
