Walking through the park and spot two men. One is digging in a hole and the other then filling it in.
I watch for about an hour.
“Lads, what exactly are you doing?” I eventually ask.
“Well, you see, there are usually three of us but the lad who puts in the trees is off sick.”

That’s good. Reminds me of the one about the fella who worked in a lunatic asylum. (Do we have those anymore, besides Dail Eireann?) He is doing the rounds one day and goes into a room where there are two patients. One is reading a book and the other is hanging out of the ceiling. He says to the patient reading the book “What is he doing up there?” and the guy replies “He thinks he’s a light bulb.” So he says “Well tell him to stop and come down.” And the guy says “No way! I wouldn’t be able to read in the dark.” Boom! Boom!
Boom, boomindeed!
