> Touring Ireland

> A group of Americans was touring Ireland. One of the women in the
group

> uncomfortable. The food is terrible. It´s too hot. It´s too cold. The
> accommodations are awful.
>
> The group arrived at the site of the famous Blarney Stone. "Good luck
> will be followin´ ya all your days if you kiss the Blarney Stone,"he
> guide said. "Unfortunately, it´s being cleaned today and so no one will
> be able to kiss it. Perhaps we can come back tomorrow."
>
> "We can´t be here tomorrow," the nasty woman shouted.
> "We have some other boring tour to go on. So I guess we can´t kiss the
> stupid stone."
>
> "Well now," the guide said, "it is said that if you kiss someone who has
> kissed the stone, you´ll have the same good fortune."
>
> "And I suppose you´ve kissed the stone," the woman scoffed.

> "No, ma´am," the frustrated guide said, "but I´ve sat on it."
