<<< It took me a while to find them, but perhaps the following song lyrics
will help to clarify (sung to an Irish jig cadence):
Oh --
"Pat," says I
"What," says he
"Where is my hat?" says I
"There," says he
"Where?" says I
"Under the chair," says he
"Thanks, you're a brick," says I
"Nevermind that," says he
"I'd do the same for thee any old time!"
Sounds like a compliment to me! Ted >>>
