There's a Sean Nos quality to this onemaybe it's just the shameless Paddywhackery but it's the kind of yarn my great grandparents always spun. It wasn't that they told you stories though. It was that they would give you hints of something happening and then gauged your wit by what questions you asked to piece the story together. Then they would laugh through their gums and make a whistling noise as your eyes widened.
EDIT: Sean Nos is 'old stories' more or less, usually told by Seannchai (raconteurs) in shebeens and the like.
