Paddy Flanagan is the first man in his small country town to buy a motorcycle and he takes his friend Seamus for a ride.
They are buzzing along through the glens and hills when Seamus begs for a break.
"The wind is coming through my jacket and cutting me chest up."
Paddy tells Seamus to turn his jacket around, wear it backwards and he won't have any more issues with the wind. "Good idea," says Seamus as he turns his jacket around and they are on their way.
Now a good ways from town, Paddy stops to see how Seamus is feeling. At his shock, Seamus is not on the back of the bike!
Paddy turns around and heads back. A mile down the road, he sees a group of farmers standing in the middle of the street.
As he approaches, he sees Seamus laying motionless on the road. "Aw shite," exclaims Paddy, "is he alive?"
"Ay, he was," says one of the farmers. "he was even talking to us, right up until we spun his head around the right way!"
