Well I can give the example that Padraic used in the Sessiwn:
Ill doneg proesif, ill prefder new seghef ill sugestiwn di'll monseniwr, e
mab car ys parolaf!
Literal translation:
The sunday next, the priest new followed the advice of the monsignor, and
dear boy! he talked!
Actually now I tempted to forward the original to the list as a
translation exercise, but the fact that it is a religious joke may offend
the sensibilities of some list members (not necessarily those targeted by
the joke, either).
