A group of Americans
was touring Ireland. One of the women in the group was a real downer,
constantly complaining: “The bus seats are uncomfortable! The food is terrible!
It’s too hot! It’s too cold! The accommodation is awful!”
Finally, the group arrived at the site of the
famous Blarney Stone.
“Good luck
will be following you all your days if you kiss the Blarney Stone,” the guide
said. “Unfortunately, it is being cleaned today, so no one will be able to kiss
it. Maybe we can come back tomorrow.”
“We can’t be
here tomorrow!” the cantankerous woman shouted. “We have some other boring tour
to go on, so we can’t kiss the stupid rock.”
“Well now,”
the guide said with a smile,” it is said that if you kiss someone who has
kissed the stone, you will have the same good fortune.”
“And I
suppose you’ve kissed the stone,” the woman scoffed.
“No, miss,” the
frustrated guide said.” But I’ve sat on it.”
