Tommy comes up to the Southern Irish border from the North on his bicycle. He has two large bags over his shoulders. A guardai stops him and says, "What's in the bags?"
"Sand," answered Tommy
The guardai says, "We'll just see about that. Get off the bike."
The guardai takes the bags and rips them apart; he empties them out and finds nothing in them but sand. He detains Tommy overnight and has the sand analyzed, only to discover that there is nothing but pure sand in the bags. The guardai releases Tommy, puts the sand into new bags, lifts them onto Tommy's shoulders and lets him cross the border.
A week later, the same thing happens. The guardai asks, "What have you got?"
"Sand," says Tommy
The guardai does his thorough examination and discovers that the bags contain nothing but sand. He gives the sand back to Tommy and he crosses the border on his bicycle.
This sequence of events repeats every day for three months. Then one day, Tommy doesn't show up. The guardai meets up with him in a cafe in the South.
"Hey, Tommy," the guardai says, "I know you're smuggling something. It's driving me crazy. It's all I think about. I can't sleep. Just between you and me, what are you smuggling?"
"Bicycles," says Tommy.
It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.

Tommy had reached the age of 76 but suddenly stopped going to church. Alarmed by the old fellow's absence after so many years of faithful attendance the priest went to see him.
He found him in excellent health, so the Priest asked, "Tommy, how come after all these years we don't see you at services anymore?"
Tommy looked around and lowered his voice. "I'll tell you Father," he whispered. "When I got to be 70, I expected God to take me any day because I'd got to three score years and ten. But then I got to be 75, then 76 So I figured that God is very busy and must've forgotten about me, and I don't want to remind Him!"
It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.

Tommy was getting on in years and had owned a fruit farm in Armagh for many years. He had a large pond in the back, fixed up nice - picnic tables, tennis courts, and lots of fruit trees. The pond was properly shaped and fixed up for swimming when it was built. One evening old Tommy decided to go down to the pond, as he hadn't been there for a while.
He grabbed a five gallon bucket to bring back some fruit. When he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer he saw it was a bunch of young ladies skinny-dipping in his pond. He made them aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end.
One of the ladies shouted to him, "We're not coming out until you leave!"
Old Tommy frowned, "I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the pond." Holding the bucket up he said, "I'm here to feed my pet alligator."
Moral: Old men can still think fast.
It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.

CD was defending Tommy accused of burglary and tried this creative defence:-
"My client merely inserted his right arm into the window and removed a few trifling articles. His arm is not himself, and I fail to see how you can punish the whole individual for an offense committed by his limb."
"Well put CD," the judge replied. "You're strong on logic so using your logic, I sentence the defendant's arm to one year's imprisonment. He can accompany it or not, as he chooses."
Tommy grinned.
With CD's assistance, Tommy detached his artificial limb, laid it on the bench, and walked out.
It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.

CD was defending Tommy who was on trial for murder in Antrim. There was strong evidence indicating guilt, but there was no corpse.
In the defence’s closing statement CD, knowing that his client would probably be convicted, resorted to a trick.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have a surprise for you all," he said as he looked at his watch. "Within one minute, the person presumed dead in this case will walk into this courtroom."
He looked toward the courtroom door. The jurors, somewhat stunned, all looked on eagerly. A minute passed. Nothing happened.
Finally CD said, "Actually, I made up the previous statement. But you all looked on with anticipation. I therefore, put it to you that there is reasonable doubt in this case as to whether anyone was killed and insist that you return a verdict of not guilty."
The jury, clearly confused, retired to deliberate. A few minutes later, the jury returned and pronounced a verdict of guilty.
"But how?" CD asked "You must have had some doubt, I saw all of you stare at the door."
The jury foreman said "Oh, we did all look but Tommy didn’t."
It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.
