    Carnival - Myles Na Gopaleen

    Keats and Chapman once lived near a church. There was a heavy debt on it. The pastor made many efforts to clear the debt by promoting raffles and the like, but was making little headway. He then heard of the popularity of these carnivals where you have roundabouts & fruit machines & shooting galleries. He thought to entertain the town with a week of this and hoped to make some money to reduce the debt.

    He hired one of these outfits but with his diminutive financial status he could only induce a very third-rate company to come. All their machinery was old and broken. On the opening day, as the steam organ blared forth, the heavens opened and disgorged sheets of icy rain. The scene, with its drenched and tawdry trappings, assumed the gaiety of a morgue. Keats and Chapman waded from stall to stall soaked and disconsolate. Chapman (unwisely, perhaps) asked the poet what he thought of the fiesta.

    “A fête worse than debt,” Keats said.

    Chapman collapsed into a trough of mud.

    A small boy swallowed some coins and was taken to a hospital. When his mother telephoned to ask how he was.
    The nurse said there's no change yet.

    The first time I used an elevator it was really uplifting, then it let me down.

    My dad entered an online pun contest.

    He sent in ten different puns, in the hope that at least one of the puns would win.

    Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.

    A ship carrying cadmium red paint collided with one carrying ultramarine blue paint in the South China sea yesterday.



























    The survivors were marooned.

    KEATS AND ALL THAT

    It is not generally known that…

    Oh excuse me.

    Keats and Chapman (in the old days) spent several months in the county Wicklow prospecting for ochre deposits. That was before the days of (your) modern devices for geological divination. With Keats and Chapman it was literally a case of smelling the stuff out. The pair of them sniffed their way into Glenmalure and out of it again, and then snuffled back to Woodenbridge. In a field of turnips near Avoca Keats suddenly got the pungent effluvium of a vast ochre mine and lay for hours face down in the muck delightedly permeating his nostrils with the perfume of hidden wealth. No less lucky was Chapman. He had nosed away in the direction of Newtonmountkennedy and came racing back shouting that he too had found a mine. He implored Keats to come and confirm his nasal diagnosis. Keats agreed. He accompanied Chapman to the site and lay down in the dirt to do his sniffing. Then he rose.

    ‘Great mines stink alike,’ he said.
