How Pat McManus's buddy Mr. Sweeney would likely have passed himself off as when mooching for a ride, claiming to be unable to repay a loan on time, not wanting to perform a yucky/arduous task, etc., when in reality he was perfectly capable of fulfilling his responsibilities, but was just too lazy and/or self-centered to actually apply himself.
Never mind his malingering sportsman-partner --- Pat HIMSELF was da truly "poor retched individual" when it came to being able to partake of significant physical activity, due to his being so unmotivated and out-of-shape... according to da "MFFFF", he would indeed violently wheeze and hackingly cough whenever he attempted anything much more strenuous than pressing da buttons on his TV-remote!

Signs saying “Masks must be worn” while nobody is wearing one
