Kieran O'Connor always slept with his gun under his pillow. Hearing a noise at the foot of his bed, he shot off his big toe. 'Thank the Lord I wasn't sleeping at the other end of the bed,' Kieran said to his friends in Donegal's pub. 'I would have blown my head off'
My father in law, who was Oirish, once bet that he could knock an apple off his friends head with just one dart. This took place in a pub and after much beer had been consumed so the inevitable happened and the 'target' ended up with a dart growing from his nose. "You could've blinded him, there" someone chided. To which my father in law replied, "Don't be silly, he had his eyes shut."
