Irish Prime Minister Birdie Ay-Heron has downplayed the significance of his failure to catch a ball lobbed by 84-year-old Hattie Nanstropp from Crotchety Falls during an exhibition game at a Boston baseball ground.
Mister Ay-Heron had hoped to use this opportunity to show that the Irish economy was still "a good catch" in terms of investment; the exercise had to be abandoned when Hattie needed a nap after four tosses.
Mister Ay-Heron was said to be upset that his trademark gormless giggle failed to mellow the crowd, who pelted him and his henchmen with hotdog buns, sweaty socks and chair parts.

....his suggestion that Ireland should be the venue for the '2009 World Redneck Games' went down a treat, a master stroke on his part, the whole country can have a finger in the pie so to speak. These Redneck people sure know how to party. They love to drink and they love to eat (That's the Hoteliers and Publicans sorted) and when they travel the whole extended family travels ( Air Lingtus and O' Leary will be rubbing their hands with glee)
