Lost in the desert

The Clancy brothers, lost in deepest Sahara, cut off from the rest of the legionnaires, had been crawling across the desert for hours. The heat was unbearable. The glare blinding, the water was gone and their hopes of rescue were diminishing by the second.

'Do you know,' said Peter. 'I've just remembered something.'

'What's that?'asked Paul.

'Well,' said his brother, 'today is 24 June - it's Ballybunion fair day.'

'Sure and haven't they got lovely weather for it,' said Paul.
