Description
The man in a fancy waistcoat on the right says, "It's a knack I got Mr O'Tool when I'm a little groggy of abusing the Irish.", to which the man on the left (Mr O'Toole) replies "Is that all? Well honey now, when I'm groggy I take to horsewhiping any one that abuses the Irish, and that's a knack I've got." On the back wall, notices advertising "Irish whiskey" and "Soups", and a framed painting of a fox hunting meet
