County Louth is the smallest county in our country and has a population of approx 129,000 people.
The occupied six counties in the north of Ireland has a population of 1.8 million people. Gaza has a population of 1,8 million and is approximately half the size of county Louth. Imagine the population of the six counties squeezed into an area half the size of Louth.
Now imagine what it would be like being trapped among that mass of people in such a small area and it being under constant attack from the air, the land and the sea. The Palestinians have no air force and no navy to defend their people. Think about that.......... Think about what life must be like in Gaza.
An Italian lawyer and an Irishman are sitting next to each other on a long flight.
The lawyer is thinking that Irishmen are so dumb that he could put something over on them easily…So the lawyer asks if the Irishman would like to play a fun game.
The Irishman is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to catch a few winks.
The Italian lawyer persists and says that the game is a lot of fun.
I ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, you pay me only €5.00 then you ask me one, and if I don’t know the answer, I will pay you €500.00, he says.
This catches the Irishman’s attention and to keep the lawyer quiet, he agrees to play the game.
The lawyer asks the first question. ‘What’s the distance from The Earth to the Moon?’
The Irishman doesn’t say a word, reaches in his pocket pulls out a five euro note and hands it to the lawyer.
Now, it’s the Irishman’s turn. He asks the lawyer, ‘What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?’
The lawyer uses his laptop and searches all references he could find on Google.
He sends e-mails to all the smart friends he knows, all to no avail.
After over an hour of searching, he finally gives up.
He wakes up the Irishman and hands him €500.00.
The Irishman pockets the €500.00 and goes right back to sleep.
The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer.
He wakes the Irishman up and asks, ‘Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?’
The Irishman reaches in his pocket, hands the lawyer $5.00 and goes back to sleep.
