    A Funny Story
    Some time ago a Kerryman went to Limerick and spent some time there saving and gathering the harvest.
    One day as the farmer had put in his hay he had finished making a rick and he said to the Kerry man, "Well, Pat, ye have no rick in Kerry like that." "Well" said Pat, "we have ricks in Kerry that would not make sugans for". By that he meant Macgillicuddy's Ricks.
