“Mikie Sweeney of Annagh used to like to play tricks on people.”
Mikie Sweeney of Annagh used to like to play tricks on people.
He went into McDonald's and asked would they put a suit on his companion. They said they would. He drove in the ass before him into the shop. The man put both out.
He had a bet with a shopkeeper that he would ask for something that the shop-boy wouldn't be able to give to him. He asked for a yard of buttermilk. The shop-boy measured the buttermilk but Sweeney not to be outdone asked him to paper it. As the shopboy could not do it he walked out.
