Dishonest Tourist
A Tipperary farmer kept guests as did his mother on her farm in Kilkenny. A
dishonest tourist from the Swiss Alps stayed with the mother, heard from her about
her son and when his holiday was over he left the old lady without paying and
went to stay with her son in Tipperary. He arose at dawn on the last morning of
his holiday in the Golden Vale, got his bags and headed off up the steep laneway
from the farm.
It so happened that the farmer was up early too and saw his guest trying to make
his getaway without paying. Grabbing his shotgun he dashed out into the yard and
called: 'Stop or 111 shoot. You owe me forty pounds for your holiday.' Knowing
he was well out of shotgun reach the Swiss guest's yodel rang out across the valley:
'I owe the ole lady too.'
