Mayo was invented because culchies had no where to go on holidays. It was once un-inhabited but bog hoppers that started holidaying there got lost and so settled there rather than try and find their way out.

There are no maps of mayo just representations of what people think it might look like, if anyone actually cared.

Mayo gets 1.27 days of sunshine a year, I think or maybe it's 1.27m of rain. Either way, it has a bit of weather now and then.

The capital of Mayo is 'M'

Girls outnumber goats by 6 to 1 in Mayo.

It is illegal to leave your chickens outside in a storm in Co Mayo.

All first born children in Mayo are given names according to how many teeth their mother has left at the time of their birth.

No one from Mayo has ever appeared on Fair City.

Sandwiches are not the same without Mayo!

Ah Lads and Lasses. I must stand up and be counted here. Spent my secondary schooling there in boarding school up to the Leaving Cert.
We have reunions there every few years - great craic.
Mass every morning but it was there that I first read The Origin Of The Species and Man's Place In Nature. I left a full blown atheist to the chagrin of my parents

That was in the mid 60s and there were only two other healthy people in my parish in Kerry that did not go to Sunday Mass.

My geography teachers always claimed Ireland's only fjord was on the Mayo-Galway border. I have since discovered there are two more. Not only was this uninteresting, it's not even a fact.

Funnily enough a woman from Castlebar was on it once and they wouldn't shut up about it.

It's pronounced Mayeoooooooogh!

We had a religion teacher from Mayo in secondary school. He spent most of the class talking about his girlfriend or about the time he was hitching from Galway back home to Claremorris the lad that picked him up tried to molest him in the car...

Apparently Galway won't beat Mayo if they have Willie Joe.
