  1. A Witty Answer

    A Witty Answer.
    A short distance from Feale's Bridge on the way to Killarney after leaving the Limerick-Kerry border stands a forked road. A few years before the main line got steam-rolled a grey-bearded old stone-breaker plied his trade during the Summer months.
    A tourist car en-route for the lakes stopped to inquire of the road.
    "I say Pat which is the road to Killarney?"
    "Who told you my name was Pat?"
    "Why man I guessed it."
    "You can guess the road to Killarney too," replied Pat.
