One For the Road - an Irish Pub Scene
A handy bicycle parked at an Irish pub in my family home town, Co.Offaly.
'.....I walked straight up to the door and looked in.
I saw, standing with his back to me, an enormous policeman.......He was standing behind a little counter in a neat whitewashed day-room; his mouth was open and he was looking in a mirror which hung upon the wall....."It's my teeth",
I heard him say ,abstractedly and half-aloud....He came over ponderously to the inside of the counter and I advanced meekly from the door until we were face to face.
"Is it about a bicycle?", he asked.
