  1. A Funny Story

    Share Share Post
    There were two men who lived in Birdstown near Burnfoot, Co. Donegal. They always went to Derry on Saturday with a churn of milk on a cart.
    They were great sleepers and on Friday night they went to bed anda they never woke until Sunday morning and they got up and started for Derry. On their road they met the people going to chapel and the people were laughing at the the two men. They had to turn and go home again.
